Hot Tub Filters



Basics About Hot Tub Filters
Executive Summary About Hot Tub Filters By Sam Spade

Most hot tub manufacturers recommend that a filter should be changed at least once a year. Dirty filters can be hazardous to your health, damaging to hot tub components and can actually void out a warranty.

Your hot tub manual will provide step-by-step instructions in regard to the easiest way to locate, remove and replace the filter. It is sometimes possible to clean a filter and reuse it, for a limited period of time, until a new filter can be located. As a filter gets older, its fibrous material stretches.

Remember... these filters are much less expensive than a replacement pump. (Caution: if the filter is broken or damaged in any way, do not attempt to reuse it... especially if the element, located in the center of the filter, is loose.

Cleaning and Replacing Hot Tub Filters
Executive Summary About Hot Tub Filters By Ashley Carew

Hot tub filters are components that help to remove fine particles, bodily oils, grease and other debris from your hot tub spa, making them important to enjoying relaxing in beautifully crystal clear water. In keeping your hot tub filter clean, it improves the efficiency of the filter and gives it a longer lifespan, meaning you benefit from cheaper running cost of your hot tub or spa.

Artificial heat will damage the filter component and mean early replacement. In order to maximise the working life of the filter you should keep the water in the spa in proper ph balance, never be overly vigorous when cleaning the filter, and most importantly, allow the filter to dry out completely before replacing it in the hot tub. It is useful to keep two sets of filters at one time in order to let the filter cartridge dry out completely.
