$17.95

Hot Tub & Spa filter maintenance is the most important part of your maintenance routine. Normal weekly filter cleaning is required as directed by the spa & hot tub manufacturers when using Ahh-Some Hot Tub & Spa Bio Cleaner as a water clarifier and conditioner.

Filter cartridge life and its effectiveness depends on proper maintenance. A dirty spa filter has the potential to increase the load on the water pump motor and reduces the effectiveness of the water heater. During use, filter media begins to lose its filtration ability because it becomes clogged with particles and other contaminants. This causes the water pump to work harder in order to push the water through the spa filter and can result in damage to the pump and motor and/or rupture the filter. A ruptured hot tub filter allows particles and contaminants to freely circulate throughout the water and deposit on anything with which they come into contact.

1. Rinsing the filter weekly. The filter cartridge should be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris by
   washing inside and out with a garden hose or your sink sprayer. Apply the water stream at a 45
   degree angle and spray between each filter pleats to make sure all foreign matter is dislodged.
2. Filter cartridges should be cleaned with the Ahh-Some Filter Bio Cleaning product at least once every month or more often if necessary. The cleaners will remove the organic materials and dirt from the pores of the filter.
3. We recommend having 2 (sets) filters. Use the second filter while cleaning the first. Use a
   bucket or large pitcher to soak the filter overnight in the Ahh-Some Filter Bio Cleaner. Rinse the filter thoroughly and let
   dry before reinstalling. The drying allows the pores to tighten and give better filtering results.
4. Manufacturers recommend that spa filters be replaced yearly. If rotating the spa filters, then
   every other year. The life of your filter will depend upon your usage and maintenance.

Caution: Never use a power washer to clean spa filter cartridges, the high pressure water will
damage the filter media. Never use household bleach to clean filters. Although bleach may seem
to do an adequate job of cleaning, it degrades and weakens the fibers in most filter media, thereby
decreasing the useful life of the hot tub filter.
