Cleaning the filter will not only improve the performance of your hot tub but also extend its lifespan. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to effectively clean your hot tub filter.

      Ideally, filters should be cleaned every 4-6 weeks, depending on usage. If your hot tub is used frequently or by multiple people, it may require more frequent cleaning.

      To begin the cleaning process, turn off the hot tub and remove the filter element from the filter housing. Use a garden hose to flush any loose debris and dirt from the filter. Next, prepare a cleaning solution by mixing filter cleaner or mild dish soap with water in a bucket. Submerge the filter into the solution and allow it to soak for at least 1-2 hours to loosen any trapped contaminants. After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly with clean water to remove the cleaning solution and loosened debris. For a deeper clean, consider using a filter cleaning tool or filter cleaning wand to remove trapped dirt between the filter pleats. Once the filter is clean, allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling it in the hot tub.
