Filtration

For the system to work properly, the filters must be hosed off at least once a week and thoroughly cleaned once a month with a degreaser. We recommend that you buy an extra filter cartridge from your Clearwater Spas Dealer to alternate with the filters included with your spa. A dirty filter will restrict water flow and will prohibit the filtering system from keeping your spa clean. If the filters are not cleaned for extended periods, it could possibly damage the pumps.

If you have a problem with floating contaminants, you may want to purchase a skimmer net to easily remove bugs, leaves, etc…

Details on cleaning the filters are included in the maintenance section, but as a reminder, it is important to first turn off the power to the spa. Leaving the power on while changing the filters could allow objects
to be drawn into the heater and/or pump and may damage your equipment.
