Spa cleaners

Degrease the tank, dissolve biofilms in the pipes, clean the filters and maintain the cover/skirt. The result: clearer water, reduced odors, better disinfection and filtration.

• Acrylic cleaner: removes greasy rings and deposits without damaging the acrylic.
  
• Filter cleaner: degreaser/descaler for cartridges; extends their life.
  
• Pipe cleaner (“purge”/dislodges biofilm): to be done every 3–6 months, before a water change.
  
• Lid cleaner: cleans and protects vinyl against UV and mold.

• Filters: rinse 1×/week, degreasing soak 1×/month.
  
• Pipes (purge): every 3–6 months (or if odors/unstable water).
  
• Acrylic & cover: as needed and with each water change.

To effectively clean a spa filter, use a cleaner specifically designed for filter cartridges. These products dissolve oils, sunscreens, soap residue, and impurities that accumulate in the filter pleats. Remove the cartridge, rinse it with water, and then soak it in a filter cleaner or apply a cleaning spray according to the manufacturer's instructions. A clean filter improves water clarity, filtration performance, and extends the life of the pump.

An acrylic cleaner is used on the spa surface. The walls, bottom, and seats are wiped with a sponge or soft cloth, then rinsed lightly if necessary. This is often a good time to clean the jets, waterline, and spa shell before refilling.

If you don't have a spa vacuum, you can clean the bottom with a hand net, skimmer net, or soft brush to gather debris so it can be caught by the filter. You can also increase the filtration a few hours after gently moving the debris toward the drain. While less convenient than a vacuum, these methods will help keep your spa bottom clean.

Spa jets can accumulate calcium, chemical residue, and bacterial deposits. Cleaning them is usually done at the same time as cleaning the plumbing, using a spa plumbing cleaner. Add the product to the water according to the instructions, then run the jets for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the cleaner to circulate through all the pipes and around the jets. This treatment helps dislodge internal deposits and keep the jets clean. Regularly cleaning the plumbing and jets improves the performance, pressure, and lifespan of your spa.

To clean a spa cover, use a cleaner designed for vinyl covers. Wash the surface with a cloth or sponge, then rinse lightly. Once clean and dry, it's also advisable to open the cover regularly to allow the insulation to breathe and prevent unpleasant odors caused by accumulated moisture.
