Cleaning hot tub filters – How to keep your water crystal clear
Regular cleaning of your hot tub filter is crucial for hygienic, clear water, easy hot tub water care, and a long lifespan for your wellness oasis. However, not every filter is cleaned the same way – the differences between conventional cartridge filters and the innovative EGo3 filter are significant.
Why you need to clean your hot tub filter
A dirty hot tub filter not only affects the water quality but also the efficiency of your pump and can lead to higher energy costs. Dirt particles, oils, lotions, organic residues, as well as lime deposits accumulate in the filter and reduce the flow rate. That’s why it’s important to clean your hot-tub-filter regularly – ideally every 1-2 weeks, depending on frequency of use.
Cleaning cartridge filters: The traditional way
Conventional cartridge filters require a multi-step cleaning process. First, you need to remove the filter from the hot tub and rinse off coarse dirt with a garden hose. You should rinse the pleats from top to bottom to remove trapped dirt.
For a thorough cleaning, cartridge filters need chemical treatment: Soak the filter overnight in a special filter cleaning solution or disinfecting liquid to dissolve oils, fats, and stubborn deposits. After soaking, the filter must be rinsed again and completely dried before it can be reinstalled. Use a soft sponge or soft cloth to avoid damaging the material. This process is time-consuming and often requires a replacement filter so the hot tub can continue to be used in the meantime.
Another disadvantage: Cartridge filters must be completely replaced every 12-18 months because the filter fibers lose effectiveness over time and lime deposits build up.
Cleaning the EGo3 filter: The innovative alternative
The EGo3 filter revolutionizes the way you clean your hot tub filter. Thanks to its unique design, the EGo3 filter can be cleaned in 5 minutes under running water – without chemicals or long soaking.
The cleaning is very simple: Remove the EGo3 filter, briefly rinse the filter balls under clear water, and immediately reinstall it. This keeps the pipes and jets free from lime and dirt.
Another advantage: The EGo3 filter is significantly more durable than conventional cartridge filters. With regular care, it lasts several years, saving not only time but also money. Additionally, the EGo3 filter is more environmentally friendly since no harsh cleaning chemicals are needed and no waste is generated.
Conclusion: Cleaning hot tub filters made easy
While cleaning cartridge filters is time-consuming and chemical-intensive, the EGo3 filter offers a fast, eco-friendly, and cost-efficient solution. If you want to regularly clean your hot tub filter without investing much time and effort, switching to the EGo3 filter is the ideal choice for crystal-clear water and uninterrupted wellness enjoyment. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal cleaning and water care to ensure the best possible water quality.
