- Brass Fittings. Durable, leak-free connection for long service life.
How to Use
- Attach the wand to your standard garden hose
- Turn the flow control dial to your desired pressure level - start low and increase as needed
- Hold the wand at a 45-degree angle to the filter pleats
- Press the trigger and spray between each pleat from top to bottom, working in a circular pattern around the filter
- Rinse until water runs clear
Tip: For best results, use the wand for weekly maintenance rinsing and combine with a monthly overnight soak in Filter Cleaner Soak to dissolve oils and mineral deposits that water alone cannot remove. Never use a pressure washer on cartridge filters - it damages the pleated media.
Recommended Cleaning Schedule
- Weekly. Quick spray-down with the wand to remove surface debris (2-3 minutes).
- Monthly. Thorough pleat-by-pleat clean with the wand, followed by an overnight soak in Filter Cleaner Soak.
- Every 3-4 Months. Rotate with a spare filter while deep cleaning and fully drying the other.
- Annually. Replace the filter cartridge regardless of appearance - media degrades over time.
Recommended Accessories
- Filter Cleaner Soak 1L - purpose-made cartridge filter soak for monthly deep cleaning.
- Hot Springs C50/HS50 Replacement Filter - keep a spare on hand for the rotation system.
- Waterway 50 / WY45 Replacement Filter - fits 100+ spa brands.
- 5-in-1 Test Strips - test water chemistry after filter maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
