Every pool owner understands the importance of installing a quality pool or spa filter like Dreammaker Spa filter in his/her spa or swimming pool. More than anything else, it is the duty of the owner to clean the filter from time to time. This will ensure that the water of your spa or swimming pool remains crystal clear. Cleaning the pool filter cartridges is no rocket science, if done in the right manner and at the right time. For the process of cleaning, it is very important to have a proper understanding of how the selection of chemicals need to be made and also, how the chemicals must be used. Before you start the process of cleaning the filter, there are a few things that should be ready with you. These things include the manual of the hot tub, a garden hose, a bucket or a tub (for washing purpose), a spare filter and a filter cleaner. Here is a quick guide that will help you clean your filters in a better manner.
-
To start off with, make use of the manual and access which parts of the filter need to be removed for cleaning. Follow the instructions mentioned on the manual and carefully remove the filter that is dirty. In place of the dirty filter, install the spare filter so that you can enjoy uninterrupted services.
-
Once the dirty filter is out, you will see debris and dirt on the outside of the filter. Place the filter in the tub and use a garden hose and remove as much dirt as possible. Make sure that you do not use a garden hose with high pressure because this can cause damage to the filter parts. If there is any dirt left on the filter, do not make efforts to remove it – that dirt can be removed using a spa or swimming pool filter cartridge cleaner.
-
Coming to filter cleaners, you should be very careful while selecting one. Choosing a filter cleaner depends on the kind of purification system your hot tub has and also the filter installed in your spa/pool. The chemical you select for cleaning should be compatible with the filters that are within the filter cleaning solution.
-
Always follow the instructions given along with the cleaning solutions. Some cleaners work best when filters are soaked in them overnight, while some need to be soaked only for a few hours and some cleaners need to be applied and removed immediately. Failure in following the instructions might affect the quality of some parts of the filter.
Keeping a check on the filters and cleaning them from time to time, improves the life of the filter, but make sure you perform it carefully.
