FAQs
Can I leave the Wave Hair Stopper in place while using the spa?
Yes, it is designed to remain in place while the spa is running, provided it is kept clean to maintain water flow.
How often should I clean the stopper?
Frequency depends on usage, but checking it at least once a week or whenever you notice a slight decrease in circulation is recommended.
Is this compatible with all hot tub models?
It is designed to be compatible with a wide range of standard spas, but you should verify your filter intake dimensions first.
Will this affect my water chemistry?
No, the material is inert and will not interact with your spa chemicals.
What is the best way to clean the mesh?
Rinse the mesh under a high-pressure garden hose spray to dislodge trapped hair and gunk.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow in the hot tub
The stopper is likely saturated with debris; remove and rinse the unit to restore flow.
Stopper keeps floating or moving
Verify the installation point and ensure there is no suction seal issue; reposition to ensure a secure fit over the intake.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your hot tub is powered down, then place the stopper firmly over the filter intake or drain according to your model's configuration. Ensure a snug fit to prevent bypass. For care, inspect the stopper every few days; when debris is visible, remove it and rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. Do not use harsh scrub brushes that might damage the fine mesh material. Store in a cool, dry place if the hot tub is being drained for an extended period.
