How often should you change your filter? Will my filter last all year? How do I clean my filter?
Many questions you may ask yourself when you first come to own a hot tub or swim spa.
Filters are a vital part of looking after your hot tub or swim spa, keeping the water clean and clear and reducing the wear and tear on your pumps.
Cleaning - you should take your filter out and give it a rinse at least once a week and give it a thorough clean with filter cleaner once every two weeks. This ensures you clean in between all those pleats and any large particles are removed.
Every three to six months when you replace the water in your hot tub or swim spa, take the opportunity to give your filter a deep clean by soaking it in a specialist filter cleaner solution.
Replacement - with normal usage, your filter will need replacing once a year. Keep an eye out for any signs that you might need to change it sooner - becoming worn or not all dirt flushing out during a clean. It is always a good idea to have a second filter on hand for when you decide it is time to change, or just to put in the hot tub or swim spa while you clean the other one!
