All spas vary with the amount of equipment on them however they all need to pump the water through a filter to remove particles that will be collected inside the pleats of the filter. The combination of good circulation and filtration along with keeping on top of the water chemistry will result in a clear, clean and healthy spa to be proud of.

Most hot tubs have a certain cartridge filter which collects oils, greases along with the particles removed from the water which will impair the efficiency of the filter and reduce the flow rate if not cleaned correctly and regularly.

It is necessary to chemically clean the filter cartridge approx every 2 to 6 weeks depending on brand of tub. It is also a good idea to have a spare filter for your hot tub so that it can remain in use when you are cleaning a dirty filter.

Some spas will have a pair of filters, either one on top of the other or located side by side. On occasions a mineral filter may be inserted inside a pleated filter making 4 elements to one spa.

Most hot tubs will be set up and commissioned by experienced dealers and handed over, they will set the correct filtration cycle up for you then the spa will continue with that program. Sometimes depending on bather loads and usage this may need changing from time to time.

If you do not see your filter here then please email us with the dimensions of it along with the make & model of Spa / Hot tub and we will be happy to quote you!
