Having a hot tub is a real luxury that can transform your garden from somewhere you go to mow the lawn, into the best “room” of the house.

But like anything else in life a hot tub needs to be cared for, and one of the most important parts of any hot tub is the hot tub filter.

Why Is A Hot Tub Filter So Essential?

When you think of a hot tub, you probably think of relaxing in the water with a well earned drink, and maybe a snack or two.  The hot tub filter is the last thing that comes to mind – and if the filter is working as it should do, you should never need to think about it anyway.

But when you drop a bit of your snack into the water, and other debris such as leaves from that nearby tree get in there as well, you’ll soon notice if your filter stops working to keep the water clean.

In short, a hot tub filter keeps the hot tub safe, clean and inviting to use.

What Kind Of Filter Should You Look For When Buying A Hot Tub?

There are several types of hot tub filter in use, but the most popular and widely available is the cartridge model.

These should be replaced every twelve months or so from the date of buying and installing your hot tub.  They are designed to be quick and easy to change, and most hot tub stockists and manufacturers should stock a wide range of hot tub filter cartridges for you to purchase at a later date.

Some people think that all they need to do is change the filter once a year, but this is far from the truth.  They should be cleaned regularly to ensure they remain in tip top condition for the whole of their lifespan.  It’s essential also to clean them with a product which is specifically designed for that purpose.  Not only will this ensure your filters remain in good condition, it will also keep your hot tub working well too.

The price of a new hot tub filter will vary depending on the model of your tub and where you buy it from.  Do some comparison shopping first to get the best discount you can.  Online stores are often cheaper, and some places will offer a discount on multiple purchases as well.

Remember, it always pays to have a spare.
