Spa Filters: Everything You Need to Know
Spa filters play a crucial role in keeping your spa clean and safe, yet they're often overlooked. Regularly changing your filter is essential for keeping bacteria, dirt, bugs, and other unwanted elements out of your spa.
Types of Spa Filters
1. Sand Filters
- Sand filters use a specific type of sand (and gravel) to remove contaminants from the water. However, they might not catch all particles on their own. To aid the process, you'll need to add a substance to the water that helps smaller particles clump together. It's important to replace the sand in these filters every few years and to backwash them regularly for cleaning.
2. Cartridge Filters
- These filters use folded polyester mesh or paper to trap particles. The more layers and folds, the more effective the filter. Cartridge filters are often available directly from your spa's manufacturer or from third-party vendors at competitive prices.
3. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filters
- DE filters use fine mesh with Diatomaceous Earth particles (ground-up fossils) to trap contaminants. Note that some regions have regulations regarding DE disposal. Like sand filters, DE filters require backwashing and a fresh DE coating after cleaning.
Maintaining Your Spa Filter
To ensure effective filtration, run your spa daily for at least an hour. This keeps the water clean even if you aren't using the spa regularly.
Extend Your Filter's Lifespan
- Encourage all spa users to shower before entering. This reduces the introduction of contaminants like hairspray, sweat, deodorant, hair, lotions, and dead skin cells ?" which are significant contributors to filter workload.
- By minimizing contaminant buildup, you'll save on maintenance and replacement costs.
By following these tips, you'll ensure your spa remains a clean and enjoyable place to relax while extending the life of your filters.
