Do you want to know the secret to having clean hot tub water? Hint: It\u2019s not just about the chemicals \u2014 but it is about the chemicals a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unsung hero of perfect water is your hot tub filter. Water moves through the filter (thank you circulation system!) and removes the things you don\u2019t want in your water. Good bye dirt, debris, and bacteria.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in the chemicals and, together, they work with the filtration system to remove other contaminants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like any good duo, though, you have to take care of both parts of the relationship. The chemicals can only do so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what’s the best way to take care of the hot tub filter? (Clue: It might be a night out but you should skip the chocolate and flowers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master Spas<\/a> recommends rinsing your filters once a week, cleaning them once a month, and replacing them once a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making time to properly maintain will ensure you can enjoy your spa day after day, night after night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does a Filter Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A hot tub would just be a giant bath or kiddie pool without a filtration system. Over time, the still water would become dirty and bacteria and algae grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when water is moving, and moving through the plumbing and filtration system, it is evenly heated and purified. The clean water is returned to the spa so that you can soak comfortably and safely.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master Spas\u2019 exclusive EcoPur Charge filter<\/a> is made from a  patented filtration fabric. <\/em>The pleats in the fabric help catch large contaminants while the natural minerals target smaller contaminants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t underestimate the pleats in the filter. The folding of the fabric increases the surface area, making it easier for the filter to catch dirt and clean your water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: You might get an error code on your panel when the filters are dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water of your hot tub moves through the hot tub filters and, once clean, moves through the plumbing and heater. This process keeps the water clean and evenly heated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Best Way to Clean Hot Tub Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From start to finish, cleaning your hot tub filters<\/a> will take less time than your typical evening soak. In fact, the prime time to take care of your filters might be after that relaxing session in the hot tub. You’re already in your swim suit, relaxed, and won’t mind turning off the hot tub for 15 minutes or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
