Baqua Spa Filter

Filter Cleaning

When using BaquaSpa you must take care to use a compatible filter cleaner.

BaquaSpa is a coagulant which combines bacterial cells and other small particles into particles large enough to be trapped by the hot tub filter. The resulting deposit is a grey sticky film which can only be removed with a BaquaSpa compatible filter cleaner. If any other cleaner is used prior to stripping the film, the cleaner and the film will combine to form a gum like substance which cannot be removed and your filter will have to be replaced.

When using BaquaSpa your filters will need to be cleaned every 4 – 6 weeks. Clean them every 4 weeks if you regularly use your hot tub more than 3 times a week.

When cleaning your filters follow the procedure below:

1.Remove the cartridge(s) from the filter housing and rinse under a tap or with a garden hose, making sure to remove all debris from between the pleats.
2.Place filter inside a large plastic bucket and add approximately 20 litres of water to the bucket.
3.Add approximately 500ml of Splash Spas Filter Cleaner (or other BaquaSpa compatible filter cleaner) to the water and mix in.
4.Allow the cartridge to soak for 24 hours making sure it is immersed completely in the solution.
5.Thoroughly rinse the cartridge with a garden hose or under a tap and allow to dry.
6.To dispose of the filter cleaning solution discard with plenty of water down a drain.

If you have a spare filters then, while one set is being cleaned the other set can be in use – achieving optimum spa utilisation. Additionally, if you let your filters properly dry out between uses you will find that they will last much longer.
