Hot Tub Filtration


Most hot tub problems are caused by poor filtration. A filter that's operating properly helps keep the water clean by capturing the hair, oils and cosmetics that wash off when people use the hot tub. When the filter is dirty or clogged, all this debris remains in the water. Most hot tubs have a cartridge filter. Check your owner's manual for detailed information on how to remove the filter for cleaning. Typically, you should clean the filter at least every 4-6 weeks.
What you need to do:
Remove the cartridge Rinse with a garden hose to remove loose debris. A hose-end nozzle is best - a pressure washer has too much pressure. (Note: this will not eliminate the accumulated oils) Every time you clean your filter, use SpaGuard Filter Brite according to label instructions. This will dissolve and loosen the built-up oil and dirt. Thoroughly rinse the cartridge again. (Ideally, the cartridge should be allowed to dry before being returned to service) Return the cleaned cartridge to the filter housing Replace the filter element as often as the manufacturer or SpaGuard Dealer recommends Use SpaGuard Polysheen weekly
Some particles of debris are microscopic and too small for the filter to catch. Polysheen will help join these tiny particles together and allow the filter to remove them, keeping the water clear.
