A hot tub filter collects debris and contaminents from the pumped water circulating through the hot tub. Darlly Hot Tub Filters are made of a pleated, durable polyester material.
If your hot tub display is indicating a flow error, the filters probably either need cleaning or replacing. If the fabric of the filter media is damaged with rips, tears or holes allowing unfiltered water to flow freely through the filter fabric, the filter changing immediately. At Darlly we would recommend to change your filters every 12 months, this will help prolong the life of your hot tub and improve spa efficiency.
At Darlly we offer three different filters. Standard, Silverstream and Sanistream Filters. Silverstream filters offer added Silver Ion Technology antimicrobial protection, Sanistream filters offer an added in-filter sanitiser dispenser to give an integrated water treatment system.

The water in your hot tub water would be continually dirty even with the correct checmicals being used to sanitise the water. A quality hot tub filter is of the upmost importance in your hot tub.

To change the filters, the pumps should be turned OFF. Remove the filter housing lid which normally unscrews/unclips. Carefully remove the filter without disturbing any debris captured in the filter. Depending on the filter, this will now either unscrew or just lift out with a slight twist just to release it.When fitting new filters, if the filters are tall and have thin supporting bands around circumference of the filter pleats, this is part of the filter construction and should be left attached as it maintains the separation of the pleats. After checking for any debris remaining in the filter area, the replacement filter(s) can now be fitted in place, ensuring bottom of filter is pushed on and is seated correctly or screwed down securely. Refit the leaf catcher basket and the filter housing lid ensuring that everything is fitted as designed and is secure.
Without efficient filtration, dirt and contaminants would soon build up to a critical level in the water. Without a quality filter, the bathing water can become cloudy and algae growth is a possibility. High quality filters are required to help maintain high water quality for your enjoyment and piece of mind.
