FAQs
How often should I clean this filter cartridge?
It is recommended to rinse the filter cartridge thoroughly every 1-2 weeks, depending on your hot tub's usage. For a deeper clean, use a filter cleaning solution periodically.
How long does this filter cartridge typically last?
Under normal use and with regular cleaning, this filter cartridge should be replaced every 3-6 months. However, inspect it regularly for wear and tear, and replace it sooner if necessary.
What are the dimensions of this filter?
The filter has a length of 67mm, a diameter of 106mm, and a hole diameter of 55mm / 34mm.
Will this filter work with any MSpa model?
No, this filter is specifically designed for a range of MSpa models including Alpine, Aurora, Camaro, Carlton, Exotic, FRAME, Mono, MUSE, Nest, Otium, Reve, Rimba, Silver Cloud, Soho, Tuscany, and Vito.
Can I use a pressure washer to clean the filter?
It is best to avoid using a high-pressure washer as it can damage the filter material. A standard garden hose with a strong spray is recommended for cleaning.
What is the '90 Pleat' designation?
The '90 Pleat' refers to the number of folds in the filter material. More pleats generally mean a larger surface area for trapping debris, potentially leading to better filtration and longer intervals between cleanings.
What should I do if my hot tub is still not clean after installing a new filter?
Ensure the filter is the correct compatible model and properly installed. Check your hot tub's water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, sanitizer levels) as this significantly impacts water clarity. A thorough cleaning of the tub and its plumbing might also be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow or pressure
Clean the filter cartridge thoroughly. If the issue persists after cleaning, the filter may need replacement.
Water remains cloudy despite filter use
Ensure the filter is correctly installed and compatible with your MSpa model. Clean or replace the filter and check water chemistry. The filter may be overwhelmed or require replacement.
Filter seems loose or doesn't fit snugly
Verify that your MSpa model is listed under the compatible models. Ensure no debris is obstructing the filter housing.
Filter material is torn or damaged
Immediately remove and replace the filter cartridge to prevent damage to the pump and heater.
