Hot Tub Filter Cartridges

Hot tub filter cartridges are specially designed to take care of the pollutants that pollute your hot tub, including seen and the unseen. Visible elements are easy to be filtered from the spa as they can be seen with the naked eye, but on the other hand, there are also some other elements in the water which cannot be easily caught by the naked eye, such as sand, bacteria, algae. The filter cartridge is designed to catch all of the unseen elements that make your water dirty and to provide better water conditions for you to enjoy. The filter cartridge is constructed with a fiber material which traps fine dirt and pollutants when water passes through it. At the surface of the cartridge, dirt and other matters are screened out and trapped by the cartridge which therefore keeps it from recirculating into your hot water. To ensure that you have the cleanest water possible for you water, a new and proper filter cartridge is also needed to maintain proper water balance and quality. A filter cartridge is a mandatory way to keep your hot tub clean and clear from outside and as well as from the inside.

Cartridge filtration has been available and around the longest of all filtration systems. They tend to be the filter of choice for both pools and spas. They work very simply, water passes through the cartridge and a screen catches the dirt. They are similar to the filters in your homes, but specifically designed for water. Once the pores catches the larger debris, smaller particles will also begin to get filtered out as well, as the larger debris eventually clogs the screen. Every 3-4 months, your cartridge filter should be removed and simply sprayed gently with a garden hose and water. These filters last up to 5 years depending on how much work it has had to do. There are many brands available now and the filters are relatively inexpensive and easy to use.

Pool Pumps

The pump is considered the heart of your pool. Pool Pumps pretty much circulate the pool water continuously through the filter. The filter then purifies the water and distributed the chemicals evenly throughout. The pump consists of the wet end, which is the end that consists of the impeller and it also consists of the motor, which turns the impeller. The front end of the pump is the intake and the top of the pump,is the return, or where the water leaves the pump under pressure. Pumps are used in recirculating the water from the pool. It forces water through a filter and then returns it to the pool via the jets. Pumps work simply by your pool water being sucked through your skimmer and or main drain (and sometimes the filter,depending) and then the impeller pushed the water through the filter leading it to the heater and then the jets. And then that cycle continues.

Hot Tub Jets

Hot tub jets are what provides the amazing and relaxing massaging motion on your body as you relax in your spa.

Although there are "softer" chemicals to be used now a days for your water treatment, many people are not partial to chemical water sanitization for various reasons. Some are genuinely allergic and sensitive to chemicals. Their skin reacts negatively to many types of chemicals. Some people just don't want exposure to any sort of chemical at all even if they have no physical problem to chemically treated water.
