How do I clean my hot tub filter

Xavier Labelle

It is advisable to clean your hot tub filters every 2 or 3 weeks.

  • Remove the cartridge from the filter housing and use a garden hose, or a tap, to wash down the filter. Rinse until all dirt and debris have been removed.
  • Soak the filter cartridge for at least 1 hour (overnight is preferable) in a clean, suitable size bucket using a filter cleaner solution.
  • Rinse the cartridge again after cleaning to remove any traces of cleaning solution.
  • Always dry the filters before inserting them back into your hot tub. This ensures that the filters perform to there best and last longer. Let them dry naturally. It is also a good idea to keep a spare set of filters.
