How Often Should Inground Hot Tub Filters Be Cleaned?
Keeping your inground hot tub clean and running at its best means periodically performing maintenance on your filters. As a rule, hot tub filters should be rinsed every 2 to 4 weeks, chemically cleaned every 3 to 6 months, and replaced every year for water clarity and to prevent wear and tear on your hot tub's system.
Recommended Filter Cleaning Routine:
- Every 2-4 weeks: Rinse the filter with a hose to remove dirt, hair and other debris.
- Monthly: Add some tub filter cleaner to break down oils, lotions, and other impurities.
- Every 3-6 months: Soak the filter for a couple of hours in a deep cleaning solution before rinsing it thoroughly.
- Once a year: Change the filter if it looks like it is worn out, clogged, or torn to avoid running the tub with bad water quality.
Poor maintenance of filters may lead to cloudy water, low water flow, and even damage to your hot tub's pump and heating system. Maintenance of your filters will not only prolong their lifespan but also keep your inground hot tub in the best shape possible.
