SpaGuard Filter Cleaner for Spas & Hot Tubs - 1 Quart

Deep-Clean Spa Filters for Clearer, Better-Circulating Water

SpaGuard Filter Cleaner is a spa and hot tub filter cleaner designed to remove oils, dirt, grime, grease, and scale from cartridge filter elements. A clean filter is essential for clear water because it helps trap particles, improves circulation, and reduces the strain on the rest of your spa maintenance routine.

This 1-quart spray bottle makes filter cleaning simple. Remove the filter, rinse away loose debris, spray the cleaner directly onto the filter pleats, let it soak, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. For deeper cleaning, the cartridge can also be soaked in a diluted solution.

Use SpaGuard Filter Cleaner every 4 to 6 weeks to help keep spa water clear, improve filter performance, and extend the life of your cartridge filter. It is an easy maintenance step for spas and hot tubs that helps remove buildup that regular rinsing alone may leave behind.

Product Details

Compatibility and Requirements

SpaGuard Filter Cleaner is intended for spa and hot tub filter cartridges. It should be used outside the spa, not added directly to the spa water. Remove the filter element before cleaning, rinse away loose debris, apply the cleaner, allow the required soak time, and rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.

For best results, use every 4 to 6 weeks as part of regular spa maintenance. If the filter has heavy oil, dirt, or scale accumulation, light brushing may be needed. Always wear protective gloves when handling the product and follow the label directions.

SpaGuard Filter Cleaner does not replace sanitizer, shock, water balancing, or filter replacement. Continue maintaining proper sanitizer levels, pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness as part of your normal hot tub care routine.
