What is the best way to clean a spa (hot tub) filter?
Hello,
www.unicel.com is the leading manufacture of filters and they have an excellent step by step guidelines. We also use Pleatco for some of our replacements for some hot tubs we work on. Absolutely use a filter cleaner, let it sit and soak, then spray it off with a hose. We do take the hose and spray from the inside out and we use a bucket with a few tablespoons of TSP (tri-sodium phosphate – from Lowe’s) to neutralize the mild acid that was used to clean the filter. If you just use water you are not properly cleaning it and getting the built up calcium chloride that is restricting the waters flow thereby decreasing the life of your tub or swimming pools motor. there’s a great new spray on filter cleaner that only needs ten minutes to work well. Most of my customers use a quart of filter cleaner in the smallest bucket to fit the filter and fill the rest with water and let it soak in it overnight then rinse it the next day, keeping the liquid for up to six months, by using a lid. A great way to save money. Ideally you have two sets of filters and let one set soak and then dry and use the other set and switch them out every month. But that’s an ideal world.
