Filter Cleaning
General Tips
- Always wear rubber gloves when handling your filter cartridge
- Having 2 filter cartridges allows you sufficient time to clean the cartridge properly
- Allow the filter cartridge to dry after cleaning to improve filter effectiveness
- A quick source of hot water for your cleaning solution is the hot tub itself
- Rinsing with a garden hose or under a tap is sufficient; don't use a high pressure washer
- Rinsing the filter cartridge with water weekly is a good maintenance practice
Cleaning Process
Recommended monthly for hot tubs with moderate use.
- Prepare a solution of EZ Filter Nu and hot water (preferable) in a clean plastic pail, laundry tub or specific filter cleaning container
- Lightly used hot tub – use 200 mL of EZ Filter Nu for minimum 6 hours
- Moderately used hot tub – use 300 mL of EZ Filter Nu for minimum 6 hours
- Heavily used hot tub – use 400 mL of EZ Filter Nu for minimum 12 hours
- Remove the filter cartridge(s) from the filter housing and rinse with garden hose to remove physical debris
- Submerse filter cartridge(s) in the solution and allow to soak for 6 – 12 hours
- Once soaking is complete, remove filter cartridge from solution and rinse well with clean water from garden hose or tap - do not use high pressure washer
- Allow the filter cartridge to stand until dry before putting back in use
- Once cleaning is complete, the used cleaning solution can be safely disposed of by pouring down the drain.
