Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I replace my spa filter?
A: Every 12-18 months depending on usage. Signs you need a new filter: reduced water flow, cloudy water despite balancing, or visible wear and tears on the filter media.
Q: Can I clean and reuse this filter?
A: Yes - regular cleaning extends filter life. Rinse weekly and deep-clean monthly with our Cartridge Filter Cleaner. Filters eventually lose effectiveness and must be replaced.
Q: Will this fit my spa if the dimensions match?
A: Most likely yes - also verify the end cap holes are 52mm on both top and bottom. If unsure, send us a photo of your current filter or contact us before ordering.
Q: How do I know when to clean vs replace?
A: Clean when water flow decreases or every 2-4 weeks. Replace when filter media looks compressed or matted, pleats won't come clean, the filter is over 18 months old, or you notice tears or damage.
Q: What if this doesn't fit my spa?
A: Contact us and we'll help you find the right filter or process a return. Note: once used, filters cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
