The lter is the part of your spa that removes the
debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a
regular basis to maximize your spa’s ltering perfor-
mance and heating efciency.
In addition to spraying off the lter weekly to remove
surface debris, your lter should be deep cleaned
periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get
lodged deep within the lter bers and impede the
ltration process. Even if the lter looks clean, scale
and particles can clog the bers and prevent water
from owing through the lter resulting in the most
common spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty
lter.
We recommend you clean your lter once a month
and replace it once a year or as necessary.
Remove the lter by turning it counterclockwise, 1.
unscrewing the bottom threads, then pulling it
up and out.
Place the dirty lter into a bucket of water deep 2.
enough to cover the lter. Add 8 oz of liquid lter
cleaner to the bucket of water.
Note: It is a good idea to keep a spare lter to
use in the spa while the dirty lter is being deep
cleaned. This way, you can rotate the lters and
both will last longer.
Twist off the tablet tube and set it aside.3.
Soak the lter for a minimum of 24 hours.4.
Spray the lter with a water hose. Spray each 5.
pleat carefully.
Reinstall the lter. Do not overtighten.6.
