Consequently the filter may be ignored by the spa owner since time just has a way of flying by.  But even with regular cleaning, a cartridge filters core media, the filter paper that does the filtering, clogs up to the point where it no longer can filter particulates out of the water.  This can lead to all sorts of spa problems including wearing seals which can cause leaky pumps, and even a problem with the circulation system.

So clean the hot tub filter regularly and replace every year or so for optimum hot tub performance.  Hot tub filters are available online at Canada's TheHotTubSuperstore.com.

To clean a filter, simply remove the filter from the filter housing as per manufacturer manual and use a regular garden hose with a little restricted pressure or an appropriate spray nozzle to clean out the filter in between the pleats. Do not use a pressure washer as that will damage the medium.  After rinsing out all of the dirt and particulates, simply replace the filter back in the spa.
