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.

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 pool or hot water. The filter cartridge is available in different forms such as string wound, spun bound, pleated and carbon. To begin with, the spun bound category implies a deep filtration system that is carried out by controlling the concentration of polypropylene which is itself attached to a core. When water passes through the filter the impurities are automatically hindered from passing through the filter. The string wound filters, which are the most widely used filter cartridge. These filters act in the same manner as the spun bound resulting into deep filtration but this filter has more efficiency than any other as the strings acts as a rough surface to capture more impurities.

Carbon filters are one of the most important filters that exist and perhaps is a must have for every pool owner. It is a well known fact that chlorine is widely used in order to keep a pool clean, on the hand, excess use of chlorine leads to greater level of toxic contained in the water in form of impurities. The carbon filters work on reducing the organic leftovers of the chlorine. Excess use of chlorine leads to more organic components and is such are not removed quickly they can turn the water toxic and unsafe leading to an eye burning sensation and itchy skin. One should always remember to change the filter cartridge regularly as it allows the filters to perform at their peak, on the other hand, if the same is not done, the filters may work efficiently for sometime but eventually their performance will become weaker and eventually will have no effect on the purification part. These filter cartridges can and should be removed and cleaned by pressure washing them inside and out with garden hose water regularly.
