How to Clean a Hot Tub Filter

There are multiple ways to clean a spa filter and all are effective, however you will get different results with each method. Right off the bat I'll begin by saying what not to use.Do not clean your spa filters with:

Laundry Detergent

Car Wash

Hand Spa

Dish washing Soap

Or Any bubbly soap for that matter.These methods will clean but not sanitize, plus if you don't rinse them off good enough it will turn your spa into a bubble bath and you wouldn't want that mess.I would recommend using any of the following methods for cleaning your hot tub filters.Spa Filter Cleaner

This is a simple degreaser that you can find at most pool and spa stores. It can be used it two ways. You can dilute it with water and soak your filters overnight. Or if you want to make it a bit quicker you can put some in a spray bottle and generously spray down your spa filters and let them sit for about 15 minutes or so and hose them down with water.

Note: Make sure you hose them down extremely well, degreaser can cause bubbles and bubbles means a ton of foam in your tub.Muratic Acid

This is the old fashioned way of cleaning spa filters. Simply dilute some muratic acid with water and soak your spa filters overnight. You can find muratic acid at your local pool and spa store.

Note: Muratic acid is ACID! It burns like crazy so be sure to use gloves if you are going to use this method.Chlorine

Yep, simply mix some chlorine and water together and soak your spa filters in the solution. This will clean and sanitize your spa filters and it's inexpensive especially if you use chlorine in your hot tub already.
