If you are interested in knowing how to maintain your spa, and have it working to the best of its abilities at all times, Spa-Rite can help you out. Developing a handy routine is a great way to keep your spa in top shape and keep it ready to be used at any time!
1. Spa Filters
Regular maintenance of your filters is required to help keep your water crystal clear. It is recommended
to clean your filters by hose with high pressure (Not a high pressure cleaner) on a weekly basis.
Paying special attention to each fold in the cartridge to remove any debris that has been filtered from
your water. Through customer feed back, we have found that the best method is to hose vertically up
and down, then invert the filter and repeat the process.
It is suggested to clean your filters after 15 person hours in
your spa by soaking them in Filter Clean . Soak for a minimum of 3 DAYS .
Hose filters thoroughly with clean water after soaking, making sure to get in between each cartridge fold
to the core of the filter. This will ensure the removal of all the body oils and fats, cosmetics, lotions and
hair etc.
TIP: Why not purchase another set of filters for your spa so while the first set are soaking and cleaning,
you can place the other set in and still use your spa.
2. Spa Draining
It is often asked how often you should The usual answer to this is, how
often has the spa been used? It is recommended to dump the water in your spa every 4 to 24 months.
However, if your spa has had higher bather load than average, or longer periods of operation, then this
may be required at an earlier time.So what is average use and bather load?
Customer feed back: We believe this to be 2 people for a period of 20 minutes, three times a week.

It is very important to understand and know how your spa equipment operates. This way, you are able to maintain the spa system, and recognise when something is wrong with your spa. Know any signals your spa may have, and where to find your control panel.
