This amazing device cleans your hot tub of hair, algae, bacteria, dead skin, leaves, bugs and any other debris that gets flushed through it. Below you will find three different types of filter, all with different advantages:- 

Spa-N-A-Box Spa or Hot Tub Filters: Priced at $29.95 with a shipping weight of 1 lb. This four pack will only fit where the filters are located in the spa and not the pump.

Sundance Hot Tub Filters or Spa Filters: Priced at $54.42 with a shipping weight of 5.9 lbs. Filter measurements are 8.5" x 18.25" x 2.625". 

Home Hot Tub Filters: Priced at $41.95 and suitable for Home Hot Tubs only.

Sand Filters: The sand and gravel contained in these hot tub filters removes the dirt as the water is pushed through. Microscopic particles can be missed though and after a few years you will probably need to top the filter up with a special type of sand. 

Cartridge Filters: The most common used filter, which contains a pleated mesh (usually Dacron), so tightly folded, it allows a large area to be used in a small container. It’s this clever mesh that catches the dirt and debris. 

Diatomaceous Earth Filters: Another mesh which is coated with diatomaceous earth (crushed petrified bones).  This substance acts like a glue which traps the microscopic dirt particles. The advantage here is that it’s organic and therefore environmentally friendly. 

It’s important to run the hot tub for at least an hour every day regardless of whether it is being used or not. This should be enough time for the filter to do its job and ensures good water circulation. 

Replacement of your hot tub filter will depend on how large it is, how often you clean it, how much the hot tub is used and how much dirt gets into the water. On average allow one to two years before changing it.        

At least once a month clean the hot tub filter using hot tub filter cleaner, (never use any soap based cleaners), and replace it with a spare one. The reason for this is that the filter has to dry first to allow the fibres to bind together so having a spare is vital. This process may be required more frequently if the hot tub has a lot of usage. Signs of reduced circulation and inferior cleanliness of the water usually indicates that cleaning of the filter is required. 

How To Clean The Filter:-

• Take the filter out of the housing unit.  
• Use a garden hose with a nozzle to wash out the debris working from the bottom downwards until all the dirt has gone.  
• Soak the element overnight in the filter cleaner.  
• Rinse it clean again to remove any further oils and cleaning solution.  
• Replace in housing unit.  

To help the filter, here are a few important tips to implement:- 

• Have a shower before getting in. The gels, hairsprays, deodorants, lotions and creams that we use are the greatest threat to the hot tub filter.   
• Keep all oils and soap away from the hot tub.  
• Use a floating sponge in the hot tub that absorbs unwanted oils.  
• Check the water chemistry regularly.    

They don't mention this in the shop. Yes you will need to do some work if you want the hot tub to look good and last longer but then anything this amazing deserves a bit of effort. Look after your hot tub filter and it will look after you.
