How to Install
- Turn off the spa pump and isolate power
- Remove the filter housing lid or access panel
- Lift out the old C65 filter cartridge
- Insert the new filter, ensuring it seats correctly in the end cap housing
- Replace the housing lid and restore power
Maintenance Schedule
- Every 2-4 Weeks. Remove, rinse thoroughly with a garden hose, and allow to dry completely before reinstalling.
- Monthly. Deep clean with Filter Cleaner Soak to remove oils, lotions, and mineral build-up that rinsing alone cannot clear.
- Every 12-18 Months. Replace the cartridge for consistent filtration performance.
Tip: Run two filters in rotation. While one is in the spa, the other can be cleaned and dried fully before the next swap. This extends the life of both filters and ensures your spa never runs on a wet or partially blocked cartridge.

- Filter Cleaning Wand - weekly rinse tool for fast pleat-by-pleat cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this filter fit my Hot Springs spa?
A: This filter suits Hot Springs C65 and HS65 models with a 267mm x 215mm filter housing and 76mm end cap holes. Check your current filter dimensions or your spa's owner manual to confirm. Contact us with your spa model if you are unsure.
Q: How often should I replace the filter?
A: Every 12-18 months depending on usage frequency. Signs that replacement is due include reduced water flow, persistently cloudy water despite correct chemical balance, or visible wear, tears, or compressed pleats that do not recover after cleaning.
Q: Can I clean and reuse this filter?
A: Yes - regular cleaning extends filter life significantly. Rinse every 2-4 weeks with a garden hose and deep clean monthly with Filter Cleaner Soak. The cartridge will still need replacing every 12-18 months as the filter media gradually loses effectiveness.
Q: Why run two filters in rotation?
A: One filter stays in the spa while the other is cleaned and dried. This means your spa always runs on a clean, dry filter, each cartridge lasts longer, and water quality remains more consistent between cleans.
Q: How do I know when to clean versus replace?
A: Clean every 2-4 weeks. Replace when the filter media looks compressed or matted, the pleats do not come clean after soaking, the filter is over 18 months old, or there is visible physical damage.
