Tri-x Filter for Jetsetter

[Anoroc]

Can someone familiar with the Hot Springs models clarify this filter question.

Does the Tri-x filters fit on a jetsetter?  

My current filter is a watkins31489 and from my research it can accept any of the following: Unicel/C-6430     or    Pleatco/PWK30

These filters say it filters 30sqft of water but I think the tri-x only listed 5.  My local dealer said it should fit but he didn't seem to confident...

Absolutely 100% will fit.  Now, it might be a little snug going over the standpipe, but it will go.  Most of my customers are upgrading to the Tri-X because of all of it's benefits.

Tri-X filters 65 sq. ft. apiece.

How do you actually wash them in the Dishwasher?  Maybe my dishwater is a little small but they would not fit vertically.  Do you wash them laying down in the grates?  It didn't seem to work very well for me.  I had better luck washing them off with a high pressure nozzle and a garden hose.  It only took about  five minutes and they came out very clean.  

Explain the dishwasher method to me that I should follow next time.

I would just continue to wash them with the pressure washer.  Like you said, it only takes 5 minutes to do and it does a great job.  You have 5 filters and there is no way to feasibly get them all in the dishwasher at once unless you have a very large capacity dishwasher.

I don't have a dishwasher at work and I just use the spray nozzle on the water hose.  It does the job!

Thats Hot Springs for ya, they should work on training their dealers.

Gomboman,

I put my Tri-X filters in my dishwasher every time I change the water.  For me that is about every other month.  They should go in by themselves.  No detergent, normal clean cycle, air dry.  At weekly intervals I hit them with the hose.  

Regards,

Bill

Rick, I have the Jetsetter also and use the tri-x filters, lsuper filters and they do fit in the dishwasher. Clean mine once a month.

Thanks all.  I am thinking of upgrading to the TRI-x when it is time to replace the filters.  I like the idea of being able to wash them in the dishwasher.

Thanks again.

I put all 5 tri-x filters from my Envoy in the dishwasher together.  I lay them on their side and rotate them a few times during the cycle.

Tri-X filters are a great investment! They last years longer than the traditional paper filter and are extremely easy to clean!! Tri-X filters also filter 65 sq. ft per filter!!!

I also use the dishwasher to clean mine all 5 at a time. I lay 3 in the bottom and 2 in the top racks. I have had my Envoy since 4-1-05 and have put them in the dishwasher at the 2 water changes I've done. I rinse them with a garden hose every 3-4 weeks. My water has been perfect since I have had the tub except 1 time when I was gone for a long time and got behind on the dichlor. Does any one use any filter cleaner on the tri-x filters? I haven't yet and wonder if I ever will need to.

Thanks everyone this is all good information for me.
