Taking Better Care Of Your Master Spa Filters

Spa Filters

When we talk about the different components of a spa, the first part that we would like to discuss here is a Master Spa filter. It is considered the most vital part because water is being forced through it every second the spa is being run. It is its duty to clean your water of algae, leaves, bacteria, dead skins, hair, oils, body lotions and any other debris and dust that gets into the water. If your filter is not working properly, it would affect the normal working of the spa, as it will put a strain on the pump of the spa.

Today there are several types of spa filters in the market and each one has its unique benefits. But, the most popular filters used these days are the cartridge filters. A cartridge is made up of fine, pleated mesh material, and these pleats play a major role in filtering the spa water.
How to clean your Master spa filter manually?

It is highly recommended to clean the filters after every 15 days. You can do this manually by using a garden hose. You must apply water stream at 45 degree angle, ensuring that the foreign particles are all dislodged in between the pleats. When you change the water of your spa after every 3 to 4 months, initially you must use a garden hose to pre-rinse the cartridge and then leave it soaked overnight in a soft washing detergent. This would help in dislodging all the solid items. Once you are through this process, rinse it once again and allow it to dry.
