Spring Clean Your Hot Tub Filters for Maximum Performance
The warmer days ahead make spring the perfect season to refresh and maintain your spa. One of the most essential tasks is cleaning your hot tub filters. They trap dirt, oils, and debris, keeping your water clear and your spa running smoothly. But when they get clogged, water circulation suffers, the strain on the system increases, and maintenance costs can add up.
A little upkeep can extend filter life, improve efficiency, and ensure your hot tub stays ready for relaxation.
How Frequently Should You Clean Hot Tub Filters?
To keep your hot tub running efficiently, clean your filters every two to four weeks and replace them once a year, depending on usage. Follow this simple maintenance schedule:
Weekly Rinse - Remove the filter and spray it down with a garden hose to wash away surface debris.
Monthly Deep Clean - Soak the filter in a specialized cleaner to break down oils and contaminants.
Quarterly Replacement Check - Inspect for wear and tear. If the filter looks worn out or remains discoloured after cleaning, it’s time for a replacement.
How to Properly Clean Hot Tub Filters
Keep your hot tub filters in top shape by following these simple steps:
Turn Off the Power - Always shut off your spa before removing the filters.
Remove the Filters - Carefully remove the filters and inspect them for damage.
Rinse with Water - Use a moderate-pressure garden hose to spray off debris. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can be too harsh and may ruin the filter.
Use a Filter Cleaner - Every month, soak the filters in a cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes to dissolve oils and contaminants.
Rinse and Dry - After soaking, thoroughly rinse the filters and let them dry before placing them back.
