How to Clean a Jacuzzi Pool Filter

Cleaning your Jacuzzi's filter should be part of its regular maintanance.

Cleaning a Jacuzzi filter, or the filter of just about any other whirlpool bath, is probably the easiest part of caring for the Jacuzzi. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes a world of difference in the life and cleanliness of your whirlpool spa. Take a few extra minutes to perform this simple maintenance task and you'll be glad you did!

Things You'll Need

• Garden hose
• Spa filter cleaner
• Large bucket
• Replacement filter, if needed

Instructions

1. Remove the filter and rinse off any debris with a garden hose.

2. Submerge the filter completely in a bucket of water.

3. Add filter cleaner to the bucket, following the manufacturer's directions.

4. Allow the filter to soak for at least 24 hours. Keep a replacement filter on hand in case you want to use the whirlpool before the 24 hours have passed.

5. Rinse the filter thoroughly and return it to the Jacuzzi.

Tips & Warnings

• Always clean the filter when you clean the entire Jacuzzi tub. Between cleanings, use an instant spa filter cleaner, available anywhere pool and spa supplies are sold.
