1. Maintaining Your Spas Filters
Regular maintenance of your filters is obligatory to help keep your water crystal clear. It is recommended to clean your filters by hose with high pressure (Not a high pressure cleaner) on a weekly basis.
Paying direct attention to each fold in the cartridge to remove any debris that has been filtered from your water. Through customer feed back, we have found that the best method is to hose vertically up and down, then invert the filter and repeat the process. It is suggested to clean your filters after 15 person hours in your spa by soaking them in Filter Clean . Soak for at least 3 DAYS .
Hose filters thoroughly with clean water after soaking, making sure to get in between each cartridge fold to the core of the filter. This will ensure the removal of all the body oils and fats, cosmetics, lotions and hair etc.
TIP: It is best to purchase another set of filters for your spa so while the first set are soaking and cleaning, you can place the other set in and still use your spa.
2. Spa Draining: How Often?
It is frequently asked how often you should drain your Spa. The typical answer to this is, how often has the spa been used? It is recommended to dump the water in your spa every 4 to 24 months. However, if your spa has had higher bather load than average, or longer periods of operation, then this may be required at an earlier date. So what really is the average use and bather load?
Customer feedback: We believe this to be 2 people for a period of 20 minutes, three times a week.
3. Spa Equipment
It is very important to understand and know how your spa equipment operates. This way, you are able to maintain the spa system, and be aware when something is wrong with your spa. Know any signals your spa may have, and where to find your control panel.

Spa covers are the most effective way of keeping your spa clean, keeping the heat in and keeping the children safe! They can save a lot on your electricity bill, and keep your mind at ease. If you use your spa or hot tub cover often, make certain it receives a good rinse with a hose once a month, to keep it in good condition.
