Owning a hot tub is a wonderful experience, but like any investment, it requires regular maintenance to keep it in peak condition. A crucial part of this upkeep involves knowing how to properly clean your hot tub filters. Whether you’re a seasoned hot tub owner or a newcomer, keeping your hot tub filters in pristine shape will ensure your spa water remains clear and your hot tub’s internal systems function smoothly for years.
Here’s your go-to guide for cleaning your hot tub filter, why it matters, and a few tips to extend its lifespan.
In simple terms, a hot tub filter acts as a guardian for your water, trapping debris and impurities to keep your spa water clean. By doing so, it protects the pump and heater, keeping these essential parts free of unwanted particles. Without a working filter, your hot tub’s water would recirculate contaminants, which could harm the tub’s components and create an unpleasant bathing experience.
There are various types of filters used in hot tubs, including:

Regular filter maintenance will extend your hot tub’s life and keep your water clean and safe for bathing. And if you’re looking for a new hot tub, AquaSolus offers a superb range, crafted with the latest technology for exceptional hydrotherapy and wellness benefits.
