\nPrioritize your hot tub filters<\/strong><\/p>\n
Your hot tub\u2019s filters are arguably the hardest working components of your tub. They need to be cleaned thoroughly, and that means more than just spraying them with a garden hose. DoItYourself.com offers a step-by-step guide on how to clean your tub\u2019s filters thoroughly.<\/p>\n
Clean Vents and Filters<\/em><\/p>\n
Extract the cartridge filter from the skimmer. Wipe around the skimmer entrance with a cloth soaked in filter cleaner. Wear gloves for this task.<\/em><\/p>\n
Soak the filter in a bucket full of water mixed with any recommended filter cleaner to dissolve oils and built-up sediment. Rinse well and set aside.<\/em><\/p>\n
Use a good-quality cartridge cleaner to remove debris, hair and plant bits from the filter cartridge.<\/em><\/p>\n
When the pump has emptied the hot tub, vacuum up any remaining water with the shop vacuum cleaner.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
After the filters, what next?<\/strong><\/p>\n
It takes more than just cleaning your filters to prepare your tub for the winter. In fact, you\u2019ll need to have the entire system checked by a Vancouver hot tub<\/a> service professional to ensure your tub will continue to function optimally throughout the winter season. Be sure to do so before the start of the winter season, or be prepared to face the dire consequences.<\/p>\n
