Filter Cleaning
When using BaquaSpa you must take care to use a compatible 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 a BaquaSpa compatible 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 rinse under a tap or with a garden hose, making sure to remove all debris from between the pleats.
-
Place filter inside a large plastic bucket and add approximately 20 litres of water to the bucket.
-
Add approximately 500ml of Splash Spas Filter Cleaner (or other BaquaSpa compatible filter cleaner) to the water and mix in.
-
Allow the cartridge to soak for 24 hours making sure it is immersed completely in the solution.
-
Thoroughly rinse the cartridge with a garden hose or under a tap and allow to dry.
-
To dispose of the filter cleaning solution discard with plenty of water down a drain.
If you have a spare filters 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.
