Oasis Blue Filters

Hot tub filters are essential for removing debris, contaminants, and impurities from the water to keep it clean and safe for users.

The frequency of cleaning or replacement depends on usage, but a general guideline is every 4-8 weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary in heavily used hot tubs.

Cartridge filters use a pleated element to capture debris, while sand filters use a bed of fine sand to trap particles. Cartridge filters are more common in hot tubs due to their efficiency and ease of maintenance.

The right filter size depends on the hot tub's water capacity and flow rate. Consult your hot tub's owner's manual or a professional to ensure the correct filter size.

You can clean and reuse cartridge filters, but they eventually wear out and need replacement. Sand filters, on the other hand, require periodic backwashing and sand replacement.

To clean a cartridge filter, remove it from the housing, rinse it with a hose or pressure washer, and soak it in a filter-cleaning solution. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry before reinstalling.

Reduced water flow, cloudy water, or persistent water chemistry problems are signs that your hot tub filter may need replacement.

It's best to use the manufacturer-recommended filter for your hot tub to ensure compatibility and optimal filtration.

Regular maintenance, proper cleaning, and avoiding the use of high levels of oil-based products or chemical imbalances in the water can help extend the filter's lifespan.

It's a good practice to remove and store the filter properly if the hot tub is not in use during the winter to prevent freezing damage. Clean and dry the filter before storage, and keep it in a dry, cool place.
