 Filter Cleaning
BaquaSpa requires a special Filter Cleaner to be
used instead of your normal filter cleaner.
BaquaSpa is a coagulant which combines bacterial cells and other
small particles into particles large enough to be trapped by the
hot tub filter. The resulting deposit is a grey sticky
film which can only be removed with BaquaSpa Filter
Cleaner. Consequently, if you use BaquaSpa your hot tub
filters must be cleaned with BaquaSpa Filter Cleaner.
If any other cleaner is used prior to stripping the film, the
cleaner and the film will combine to form a gum like substance
which cannot be removed and your filter will have to be
replaced.
When using BaquaSpa your filters will need to
be cleaned
every 4 - 6 weeks. Clean them every 4 weeks if you
regularly use your hot tub more than 3 times a week.
When cleaning your filters follow
the procedure below:
-
Remove the cartridge(s) from the filter housing
and place inside a plastic bucket.
-
Add approximately 20 litres of water to the
bucket.
-
Wearing rubber gloves add 475ml (1 bottle) of
BaquaSpa Filter Cleaner to the water and mix in.
-
Allow the cartridges to soak for 24 hours making
sure they are immersed completely in the solution.
-
Thoroughly rinse the cartridges with a garden
hose and allow to dry.
-
To dispose of the filter cleaning solution add
170g of pH increaser to neutralise it, dilute with more water
and then discard with plenty of water down a drain.
If you have a spare filter(s) then, while one set is being cleaned the other set can be in
use – achieving optimum spa utilisation. Additionally, if you
let your filters properly dry out between uses you will find
that they will last much longer.
