Your spa filter is crucial for the overall quality of the spa water. Dirty, worn out filters will fail to do their job of trapping spa contaminants, and will put undue strain on the spas' pump motor possibly shortening the life of the equipment.
Spa filter cartridges are made of a polyester micro-pore pleated filter media, designed to trap small contaminants suspended in the water. ( See diagram below for removal of filters. )
Sapphire Spas filters are a genuine 100sq ft ( 2 x 50 sq ft cartridges ) of filter media designed to give the maximum area for collection of particulate matter from the water.
It is recommended that you clean your spa filter cartridges every two weeks ( more often when bather load is heavy ). Use a garden hose, and apply the water stream at a 45 degree angle downward, make sure all debris and foreign matter is dislodged by spraying in between each pleat in the filters.
At least every 3 to 4 months, and EVERY water change ( See regular Maintenance Section ), your cartridge filters should be pre-rinsed with the garden hose, and then following instructions, be soaked overnight in a commercial cleaning agent. ( Consult your Authorized Sapphire Spa Dealer).
It is recommended that you have a spare set of filters available when you are soaking the used filters, as you will never have wait to enjoy your spa, and also the filters will last longer.
If you are using a filter rotation system, allow filters to dry, ready for immediate swap over next maintenance program.
