Hot Tub filters: essential for clean and safe soaking
For most users, hot tubs are a sanctuary of relaxation. But behind the soothing bubbles is a hardworking system ensuring that the water remains clean and safe. The hot tub filter is at the heart of this system, responsible for keeping impurities out of your tub. Choosing the right hot tub filter and maintaining it properly is crucial for the longevity of your Wellis hot tub and the quality of your spa experience.

How hot tub filters work
A hot tub should never run without a filter installed. That’s how essential these components are. Filters aren’t just hot tub accessories; they are the first line of defense against dirt, oils, and debris.
A hot tub filter works by trapping contaminants as water flows through it. This ensures that oils, lotions, dirt, and even tiny particles are removed before the water is recirculated. Modern hot tub filters usually feature a pleated design, increasing the surface area to capture more debris effectively.
Types of Hot Tub Filters
While most hot tubs use cartridge-style filters, other options are available:
- Sand filters – Best for trapping large debris, typically used in pools but suitable for some large hot tubs.
- Ceramic filters – Long-lasting and durable with proper maintenance.
Diatomaceous earth filters – An eco-friendly option, filtering out even the smallest particles.

Hot tub filter maintenance tips
To maintain peak performance, hot tub filters need regular cleaning and timely replacement. Proper care extends the lifespan of your filter and keeps your water crystal clear.
How to clean hot tub filters
Cleaning frequency depends on how often you use your hot tub:
- Light use – Clean once a month.
- Frequent use – Clean every two to three weeks.
- Deep clean – Every time you change your hot tub water (typically every 3-4 months).
Cleaning methods:
- Quick rinse – Use a hose to wash away debris weekly.
- Chemical spray – Apply a hot tub filter cleaner, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Soaking method – Every three to four months, soak your filter overnight in a diluted cleaning solution, rinse, and let it dry before reinstalling.
When to replace your hot tub filter
A hot tub filter’s lifespan depends on maintenance and usage. While recommendations vary, most filters should be replaced annually. However, heavy usage may require a new filter every 3-6 months, whereas regular cleaning and rotation can extend the lifespan up to two years.
Signs that it’s time for a replacement:
- Frequent clogging or reduced water flow.
- The filter no longer traps debris effectively.
- Visible signs of damage or wear.
To prolong your filter’s life, follow these steps:
- Clean it regularly.
- Use a hot tub cover to prevent debris from entering the water.
- Maintain proper water chemistry.
Rinse off before using the hot tub to minimize oil and lotion buildup.
