I have tried the foam filters that claim to be washable - I CANNOT recommend them to my viewers as the material disintegrates due to the chlorine and bits can get in the heat pump and destroy it.

You’ve got by far the most informative videos on this spa. Thanks.

[@shawshank5000]

I just soak mine in a mop bucket with bleach and water 8hrs or so. Thoroughly rinse and they are like brand new. I would think the rough agitation or the washer would eventually tear/ruin the filter.

[@ronnyrobinson79]

great advice. i also garden spray hose as often as i can to clear the debris as im using them, usually alternate with 2 filters..

[@tharonhusky6091]

ClearWater sells a filter cleaner, you just submerge it in water add something like 30-50ml and the chemical dissolves any debris, I tested it and it works without tumbling the filters, the only downside is that the solution is 13£ for 1l

[@theresastenger9690]

You’re amazing! Just got the St. Moritz 2 weeks ago and all your videos made it so easy and comfortable for me 😊 thanks a million!! 😊

I love your videos but I need help we have a Paris lazy spa and get told leave heater on all time it’s cheaper also we haven’t used it for two days left cover on put chlorine in every day but when we open it it’s cloudy and ph level and acidity to high to are we supposed to take cover off everyday wether we use it or not and should I turn off heater and just put on in morning before using please help

[@AbouttheHouse0]

@@ninapage6149 sorry for the delay replying I didn't see your reply (blame the Yt system!). When you have the cover on and are not using it, are you still running the circulation? You should run the circulation for 4hrs in every 12 hour period (or just leave it going).

[@jasoncalvert1109]

Thanks, We just got the E02 error after only a week. I thought couldn't be filter already. It was. Will definitely try the washing machine tip

[@thomaslauwereins8613]

same here. Got E02 error after 3 days. Ruled out the filter because it brand new with brand new water ...

[@sammygirlie345]

I bought some foam filters my tub arrives this weekend my first but im.cramming in your videos and getting it done right first time from insulated base to cover to how to run it on a budget great work

[@stubert]

I’d been cleaning mine every day. Wasn’t really convinced they’d still be good after so long but this is interesting. Will leave mine in longer now and wash bulk like you’ve shown. Dishwasher tabs are great ways to clean a washing machine too 👍

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Every day? Blimey, you're keen! After 3-4 weeks a new filter clogs and gives the E02 error, so I figured a fortnight to be a reasonable compromise. A lot will depend on how often you use the tub and how 'dirty' you are.

[@plutosma9190]

I have found your videos so helpful, thank you! I clean mine every use though, put it in a bucket and use a short hose to get in between the pleats. I’ve bought loads of filters cheaply at B&M recently only £4 for two. Maybe I’ll leave them a bit longer now 😊

[@AbouttheHouse0]

@@plutosma9190 didn't realise B&M sold filters and stuff. There's a large B&M in Rugby so I'll have a look sometime.

[@418laylah]

Im getting this every week. I super clean just me. Im using Bromine. Seems not as good as chlorine 😂

[@imaginitivity7853]

I wrap a strip of polyester duvet stuffing around mine. That traps all the particulate stuff. Then i just rinse the filter and pop it in bleach solution for a couple of hours.

[@Martella-jv5bw]

I just put mine in dishwasher. My 2 filters still look like new after 18 months of use

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Interesting. It sounds like the filters should last well then.

[@Martella-jv5bw]

The biggest issue I have is the constant hum noise from the pump 24/7. It’s got louder the past couple of weeks. I was advised to change the impeller but I wouldn’t have a clue where to start . Thanks for all of your very helpful informative videos mate.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

@@Martella-jv5bw yeah, ours hums too. Always has so not convinced it's a fault. Try disconnecting it and blasting a hose through it in case there's something in there.

[@rickhall19]

@@Martella-jv5bw Plenty of video's on KZbin. Try and get the replacement impeller with a stainless steel shaft (available on Ebay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWi2lWeVo7ikqZY

Cheers Rick but I cannot find a Video on you tube to change the impeller on a Lay Z Spa Maldives Hydrojet. Will keep on looking🙂

[@Castries537]

Thanks 👍🏽

[@AbouttheHouse0]

No problem 👍

[@scottyh9513]

hi mate. your hot tub videos are great and have been a big help. So simple to understand. I was just wondering though, is it more cost effective to leave it on all the time, rather than , turning it off and having to reheat from the start again > Hope that makes sense.

[@pawelde2387]

Good question mate

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Your question makes perfect sense. It is more economical to keep the tub heater on all the time, but set the target temp to about 4-5C below usual usage temp when it is not in use (and knock it back up 6 hours before using again). The big ticket saving is a thermal cover. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGWYnnZud6ypeK8

Can you use a hot tub without the filter housing ..I have a filter but not the housing!

Thank you!!!

[@marcoeier407]

Thanks man!

Happy to help!

[@janhusar9105]

In your opinion, aren't ball filter inserts better?

[@tammycole4852]

Where do you store the extra filters? do you have a method for drying them? Ours never seem to dry. Thanks

[@AbouttheHouse0]

I just leave them to air dry on the sink drainer overnight, then put them in the utility cupboard. try putting them in the airing cupboard if you have one

[@tammycole4852]

@@AbouttheHouse0 Thank you. Really enjoy our video's

[@liz3putt]

Brilliant

[@teamnoble9715]

I jet wash mine. I think people think they cant ber washed out is the issue. dirty, clogged I must need a new one. Not the case people.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

The problem with jet washing is that the high pressure water will damage the microfibres in the material and reduce the filtration effectiveness. IMO.

[@letsbehonest4221]

The garden hose with a bit of spray action is sufficient..... ...never had the error sbow up and my filters lasts a year or more.. Ps - partner and I use our hot tub twice a day almost everyday..

[@letsbehonest4221]

Ever heard of a "normal" garden hose ... ...30 seconds and like new ...been doing It for years...

[@train4905]

Exellent😊

[@Tom-pp4iv]

How often do you change water? Do you leave the hot tub running at all times, even not in use? Should I turn it off if I only use in the weekends F-Sun? Thanks

[@AbouttheHouse0]

I change the water when it needs changing. Tyically every 2-3 months. Keep up the chlorine and shower before going in the tub and change the filters regularly. It is more economical to leave the tub 'ticking over' generally. If you only use it at weekends I would set the temp at 30 after your last Sunday use and put it back up to 38-40 Friday morning. The big ticket saving though is getting a thermal cover - the savings I quote in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHa6oX17rtKdfq8 are slightly on the pessimistic side. It will pay for itself in about 3 months easily. Insulate underneath too kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGWYnnZud6ypeK8

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Nice tip

[@allyayoga2953]

hi I have an "H L " error code showing I don't have anyone to fix this and I miss using my hot tub. Do you know anyone who can help please

[@mry4354]

No matter how many times I change the filters, I always get white bits building up in the water that sink to the bottom and when you start the jets they end up everywhere, the filter is half way up so how does the filters on hots tubs even work, mine is constantly getting dirty after 2 uses

[@sammygirlie345]

That sounds like scale on your pump from what I've researched here so far

[@nathanburke1993]

Foam filters are rubbish. I'll be moving back to these. In practice the foam ones are better but the reality is the chlorine eats at them and it turns them to mush.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

YEP, and that 'mush' gets in the pump and knackers it 😥

[@DearLadies]

Always good to watch your vids. Had my Fiji hot tub 2 weeks now and every two days i get the E02 code and i take the filter out and it is full of white chalky residue, i have cleaned them both and reused them, but i am wondering why i only get two days use before it clogs up and where does it come from. could it be from the heater as we are in a hard water area? I found that as soon as it goes E02 i unscrew the filter block, take the filter out and bash it on the ground at an angle, only on the plastic rim, it knocks a lot out and a quick rinse through and pop it back in. Amazed how you get two weeks use before E02. Any advice?

[@Drillerusa1]

I am thinking you must have very hard water. If you buy a TDS meter you can check how your TDS TDS stands for total dissolved solids

[@jimtheyid]

Actually don't mind sitting in the garden and cleaning mine with a small brush and hot water

[@AbouttheHouse0]

I was cleaning manually last season, but they never looked as clean as they do out of the washing machine. I also didn't care for doing it. Each to their own 👍

[@jimtheyid]

@@AbouttheHouse0 True, washing machine will make the colour whiter. Gret videos, always helpful

[@Sh4dow682]

I just use the hose and squirt them out..

[@dereknederekne]

Are you supposed to leave the hot tub filter circulation running all the time.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

At least for 4 hours in every 12 hr period. I leave it on, easier that way.
