Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the cartridge regularly (often weekly with heavy spa use) to prevent restriction and keep jets performing well.
- Deep clean every 3–6 weeks with a cartridge cleaner to remove oils; rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
- If scale is present, degrease first, then treat for scale, and rinse completely before returning to service.
- Rotating between two cartridges (one in use, one drying after cleaning) can extend overall filter life and improve performance.
