Filter Cartridge Care

Understanding the Filter Indicator

The filter symbol on your MSpa will flash at you when the MSpa determines it's time to replace the filter with a new one. You can reset this indicator by pressing and holding the filter button.

In my experience, by the time the MSpa filter indicator is flashing at you, the filter cartridge probably should have been replaced earlier.

Factors Affecting Filter Life

Filter cartridge cleaning and replacement are very much dependent on:

• How often you use your MSpa
• How many people use it
• Whether bathers have a quick shower before using your MSpa or not

If you don't shower before use, even if you are not dirty, sweat, natural oils from your skin, lotions, moisturisers, sun screen and more can all cause you to have to clean or replace your filter cartridge more often. These things can have a direct bearing on the frequency and amount of required chemicals to keep your water in balance.

Recommended Cleaning Schedule

The following are guidelines for one or two people using the MSpa daily with quick showers just before use:

• If you use your MSpa less frequently, consider longer durations
• If you use it more frequently, or more people use your MSpa, or you don't always have a quick shower before use, consider cleaning and replacement more often

For Everyday Users

• Clean your filter cartridge every 3 or 4 days
• Replace the filter cartridge within 6 weeks

Signs Your Filter Needs Replacing

If you take the lid off your MSpa and see white residue in the water, it may be caused by other things but it could be an indicator that your filter cartridge is starting to degrade. If that is the case, replace your filter cartridge with a brand new one.

Dealing with Debris

Note that if you see debris within your MSpa, it's best you scoop that out with a cleaning kit net, rather than leaving it and hoping that the filter cartridge and inlet grill/valve will stop the debris from entering your control unit.
