Owning a hot tub in Cottonwood, AZ, is unique ownership. Surrounded by the beautiful landscape and peace, you can relax in your hot tub. But there is a downside to life in Cottonwood and the Verde Valley — cottonwood fluff. When not maintained correctly, this nuisance can cause some issues with your hot tub filter. AZ Hot Tubs has served the Cottonwood community for years with high-quality hot tubs and important care advice. Here, our professionals provide tips on caring for your hot tub filter when there is cottonwood fluff.
How Often To Rinse:
Frequency: Hosing down the filter can be done weekly or twice a month.
Method: Remove the filter and wash dirt and cottonwood fluff with high pressure from a portable hose pipe. Make sure to get into the pleats for deep cleansing.
How often do you deep clean:
Frequency: As needed, but at least once every 4-6 months
Step: Soak the filter in a solution appropriate for this, such as one from any of the following links: Filter Cleaner Allow to soak for approximately 3 hour and rinse well with a hose.
Filter Cleaning Tool:
Tool: Filter cleaning wands or combs
Procedure: Designed to allow you to clean in the creases of the cap more effectively than using regular hosepipes
The Rotate Filters Strategy:
Strategy: Have extra an filter(s) available. This way, you always have a new filter ready to go while cleaning the other one, so there is less time for your hot tub to be out of action.
Importance of Checking Water Chemistry:
Importance: Balanced water chemistry is one of the most important preventative measures that you can take to prevent your filter from getting too dirty.
Action: These conditions can be reduced by regularly testing and balancing your hot tub water parameters (pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels).
How Often to Check for Damage:
Inspection: Every cleaning session. Inspect for visible signs of damage, like rips in the fabric or split core. If broken, then replace the filter.
Frequency to Replace Filters:
Frequency: Every 12-24 months for standard filters, or, 12-36 months for Trix Filters. Filters get dirty and wear out, reducing their ability to work fine even with regular cleaning. This ensures an optimal level of performance.
