Spa and Hot Tub Filter Cleaning Tips
Filter maintenance is a important part of your spa maintenance. Normal weekly filter cleaning is
required as directed by the spa manufacturer when using Nova Spa Water 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 a filter cleaning product at least once every month or
more often if necessary. The EcoOne Filter Cleanser uses alkaline based cleansers to remove the
organic materials and dirt from the pores of the filter. The Nova Penetrating Spa Cleanser uses
microbes to eat away the organic materials that plug 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 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.
