Hot Tub Accessories – Filter Cartridge

Most spas have cartridge filters that can be replaced every year or so depending on spa use. Many hot tub suppliers do not do a good job of notifying customers that their filters require replacing.  Unlike some refrigerators that have a light come on when it Is time to replace the water filter for the ice maker and water dispenser, most Hot Tubs do not have a replace filter indicator.

Consequently the filter may be ignored by the spa owner since time just has a way of flying by.  But even with regular cleaning, a cartridge filters core media, the filter paper that does the filtering, clogs up to the point where it no longer can filter particulates out of the water.  This can lead to all sorts of spa problems including wearing seals which can cause leaky pumps, and even a problem with the circulation system.

So clean the hot tub filter regularly and replace every year or so for optimum hot tub performance.  Hot tub filters are available online at Canada's TheHotTubSuperstore.com.

To clean a filter, simply remove the filter from the filter housing as per manufacturer manual and use a regular garden hose with a little restricted pressure or an appropriate spray nozzle to clean out the filter in between the pleats. Do not use a pressure washer as that will damage the medium.  After rinsing out all of the dirt and particulates, simply replace the filter back in the spa.

If a filter is very dirty you can also get an overnight cartridge filter cleaner solution and let it sit in a bucket so the solution can eat away at the filter pores and produce a clean filter again. For this purpose it is best to have 2 filters that you can alternate while one is cleaning.  Note that after any cleaning with solutions the filter needs a thorough rinsing before being replaced into the spa.

There are different brands of cartridge filters from spas including Unicel and Pleatco type.

Note although most cartridge filters are placed in non-pressurized housing, there is such a thing as a pressure filter.  These types of filter replacements may also involve bleeding air out of the filter system before opening the hatch and certainly making sure the pump is not running. Even in non-pressurized filter systems such as top loading filters,  make sure the pump is off as it is difficult to remove the filter with the suction provided by the system, and is a safety hazard too.

Other spa accessories include hot tub steps, hot tub cover lifters and hot tub spa covers. For thousands of online hot tub accessories, visit http://www.thehottubsuperstore.com

The Spa $4.99 It is the week between Christmas and New YearÂ’s and ten high-achieving ladies are gathered at the expensive Castle Spa. They lounge in the Jacuzzi, sipping champagne, and telling each other the story of their lives, starting with the trophy wifeÂ’s tale of her spell in a Greek prison; the brain surgeonÂ’s tale of twins and mistaken identity; the judgeÂ’s tale of a sex change that allowed him to experience pleasures from both male and female perspectives. The manicurist, the public speaker, the journalist, the company director, the ex-vicarÂ’s wife, and the screenwriter all share their stories, ending with the stepmotherÂ’s tale, a reversal of CinderellaÂ’s fate, with the stepmother as the victim. Sparkling, witty, always sharp-tongued, and occasionally libidinous, The Spa is a darkly funny sketch of a group of women who, despite prejudice, imprisonment, domestic catastrophes, and romantic debacles, have risen to the top of their respective worlds.
