Most spa cartridge filters are cylindrical shaped, pleated objects that are bound at the top and bottom by molded plastic. This seemingly insignificant part of the overall hot tub actually serves a very important purpose - it keeps the water clean and sanitary. It filters out all the dirt and debris that easily accumulates in the water, which makes it crucial to keeping it working properly at all times. Aside from a skimmer, these spa cartage filters act as the hot tub’s only mechanical way of keeping the tub’s water clean. All the water in the tub will pass through this filter a few times a day.
Without proper care and maintenance of these filters, less water will actually pass through on a daily basis, which will cause the water to become hazy and murky. This means that you will actually have to do more work to get the water back to its original clean state. With a poorly functioning filter, you will end up having to use more chemicals to get the water bacteria-free, and have to clean your water more often. A poorly functioning filter will also put more stress on the pumps and other spa equipment, causing them to fail earlier than necessary.
Having dirty water infringes on the overall enjoyment of your hot tub and can cause rashes, infections or other health concerns. For this reason, sticking to a regular routine to care for your cartridge filter and replacing regularly is absolutely essential. On average, filters start losing their effectiveness after a year, and should be replaced.
Essentially, the cleanliness of your spa water is really only as clean as the filter you use along with proper monitoring of chemicals. Buying and using a quality filter is key. Never operate a hot tub without the filter in place.
The other key is regular cleaning and maintenance. Depending on how often you use your spa, the filter should be removed and cleaned with a hose every 7-10 days. It is a good idea to deep clean the filter every 30-40 days by taking it out and letting it soak overnight in a bucket of water with a specially formulated filter cleaning solution.
Having a spare filter on hand makes this process much easier – since you can just pop in the replacement and take your time cleaning the used filter, allowing it to dry properly before you use it again.
