📅 Recommended Maintenance Schedule
- Weekly: Quick rinse with garden hose to remove surface debris
- Monthly: Deep clean with filter cleaner soak (we recommend our 1L Filter Cleaner Soak)
- Every 3-4 months: Rotate with spare filter for optimal performance
- Annually: Replace filter cartridge (or sooner if pleats show wear or discoloration)
Pro Tip: Spa professionals recommend rotating between two filters for uninterrupted filtration. While one filter is in use, clean and thoroughly dry the spare – this rotation extends the life of both filters by 40-60% and ensures your spa is always ready for relaxation.
