Your spa filter is the unsung hero of your hot tub system. It traps dirt, oils, and debris, keeping your water clean and safe. Without regular cleaning, filters become clogged, reducing water flow and putting stress on pumps and heaters. In Ottawa’s climate, where seasonal changes affect water quality, proper filter maintenance is essential.
Benefits of Regular Spa Filter Cleaning
- Improved Water Quality: Clean filters remove contaminants, ensuring crystal-clear water.
- Energy Efficiency: A clogged filter forces pumps to work harder, increasing energy costs.
- Extended Equipment Life: Prevents strain on pumps and heaters, reducing repair bills.
- Better Performance: Strong water flow means jets work as intended for maximum relaxation.
How Often Should You Clean Your Spa Filter?
- Light Use: Every 4–6 weeks
- Heavy Use: Every 2–3 weeks
- Canadian Winters: More frequent cleaning during cold months when debris and oils accumulate faster.
Signs Your Filter Needs Cleaning
- Cloudy water despite chemical treatment
- Reduced jet pressure
- Strange noises from the pump
- Visible dirt or discolouration on the filter
