Having your own spa is a great way to relax and unwind. The last thing you want to do when returning to your spa is think about the water getting dirty. Taking a shower before entering the spa helps remove these products. However, hair, sweat and other bodily fluids end up in the water, affecting its cleanliness.
For this reason, the filter is one of the most critical parts of a spa. Its role is to eliminate all contaminants present in it that could affect water quality. But a dirty filter with a lot of build-up prevents good spa filtration. This leads to problems such as cloudy or yellowish water and the growth of bacteria. The consumption of chemicals is also becoming unreasonable!
Weekly rinse
The best way to maximize good filtration is to clean the filters. Remove the filter from the spa and rinse it with water weekly to remove buildup from the filter. This is a quick clean, so you don't need to use any product for this. Instead, use the garden hose or even the tap, making sure to position yourself between the folds for more efficient work. Do not use a pressure washer to remove residue from the filter. The water jet should be gentle enough to avoid tearing or breaking the filter. Then allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling it in the spa.
How to deep clean filters?
First, always wear rubber gloves when handling your filter cartridge(s). The fact of having several cartridges gives you enough time to properly clean your filter thoroughly. Allowing one or more filter cartridges to dry completely after cleaning will improve filter efficiency and longevity.
Cleaning Process: (recommended monthly for moderate use spas)
- Remove the filter cartridge(s) from the filter housing and rinse with a garden hose to remove physical debris.
- Prepare a solution of Minéraluxe Filter Revive and hot water (preferably) in a clean plastic bucket, wash tub or specific container for cleaning filters.
- Light to moderate use – 200 ml daily Minéraluxe Filter Revive – soaking for at least 1 hour
- Intensive use – 400 ml daily Minéraluxe Filter Revive – minimum soaking of 3 hours
- Once soaking is complete, remove the filter cartridge from the solution and rinse it thoroughly with clean water from a garden hose or tap. Do not use a pressure washer, as this will damage the cartridge.
- Once cleaning is complete, the used cleaning solution can be safely disposed of by pouring it down the drain
Minéraluxe Filter Revive not only cleans cartridges effectively but digests waste, leaving a clean solution for disposal. There is no longer any need to clean the wash tub, bucket or soaking container. Minéraluxe Filter Revive will take care of it.
