I have a question, I have a routine of cleaning my filters in my Hot Springs Sovereign once a week, I take them out and rinse them off with a hose, which is supplied by my well. I went out and purchased a filter for my hose for topping off the tub. I started using it, then left it on the tub and it fell and broke, i topped off the rest with regular well water, what a mistake, i ended up with green tinted water and cloudy, i shocked it, cleaned filters three times, water is crystal clear now, although my free chlorine is very high and my ph slightly elevated, i have added the ph decrease which will bring it down, its at 8.0. My question is, should i be using the water filter , I bought from my hot springs dealer for rinsing off the filters, does it matter ? I would not think enough well water would absorb into filter to screw my water up, but hey, that is why I ask the experts. I do plan on cleaning the filters once a month with the cleaner solution, which removes the oils, plan on doing that this weekend. all replies will be greatly appreciated.

Rinsing with the hose should be fine especially since you are soaking monthly
