Title: filter cleaner for a Caldera Cantabria
Post by: buymybook on April 07, 2011, 04:17:37 pm
Hi-
When we bought our hot tub last fall, Bioguard Maintain Strip Kwik was included, which I used once so far, soaking the large filter in a solution of this. I wanted to purchase some more cleaner but was wondering if SpaGuard filter cleaner/degreaser spray would suffice instead of soaking the filter for a few hrs in the other product.
thanks

Get a spare filter. When its time for a filter cleaning ake out the dirty filter, put the clean spare in the spa, soak the dirty filter overnight, rinse & dry it the next day and repeat monthly (or so). Soaking is the better method and using a spare is the key so you don't have the spa down while filtering. Filters don't last forever so having a spa isn't really any extra cost.
