How often should filters be cleaned?
Generally, filters are cleaned after two to four weeks. However, this depends on the type of disinfection as well as the frequency of use of the spa.
Disinfection with chlorine:
- Cleaning the filters every four weeks
.- Chlorine is an oxidizing agent
- Chlorine partially cleans filters when used
- Collection of organic material and germs in the filters, this quickly leads to Cause of water contamination
Disinfection with SpaBalancer:
- Cleaning the filters every two weeks
.- SpaBalancer is not an oxidizer, cleaning of filters does not occur during use
- Greater load on the filters as SpaBalancer encapsulates contaminants, these are trapped in the filter
.We recommend soaking the filters in a filter cleaning solution during one night. This is composed of an acid and removes organic contaminants from the filter fleece. As a comparison, you can imagine a coffee filter that has been smeared in butter. Here it is also not enough to merely rinse the filter.
For filter cleaning we have for you, for example, the following products:
- SpaBalancer Filter Clean
- Filter Clean - filter cleaner .
The following day, the filters must be rinsed well, as many cleaning solutions foam strongly. For this purpose, a filter shower is recommended. This will save you a lot of water and time, besides the rinsing is done thoroughly.
.- Filter shower Waterwand .
- Filter Flosser - aluminum filter shower .
- Other filter cleaners
When used for water purification with SpaBalancer, the filter should be soaked in a chlorine solution for another night (1 tablespoon of chlorine granules per bucket). This procedure oxidizes residual dirt and any dissolved minerals, which make the filter smell unpleasant. At the same time, this chlorine solution makes the filter shine all white again.
.Now the filter must be dried in a dry and warm place. In this time you need in any case a spare filter, which you can use.
