The SpaBalancer SystemFlush instructions state that the filters should remain in the whirlpool after the agent has been added. Does this also apply to a softub? With the product I have used so far, the filters should be explicitly removed. I don't want the paper filters to become damaged or even unusable as a result. I clean the filter with FilterClean natural.
Answer:
We recommend leaving the filters in the whirlpool when adding SystemFlush to the water. The reason: SystemFlush dissolves existing deposits and these can then be filtered out. The filter running time should be set to 12 hours or more during cleaning. The filter should then be cleaned with FilterClean natural if necessary. This applies to all whirlpools, including the Softub. Filtering prevents dirt deposits from settling back into the pipes when the spa is emptied.
In our experience, the filters are not damaged by SpaBalancer SystemFlush. The filter fleece can be completely cleaned again with SpaBalancer FilterClean Natural. You should always make sure that you use branded filters from Magnum, Darlly or Pleatco. The filters must use a fleece from the Reemay company. We advise against using no-name filters, as they are usually too inferior in quality. The use of hard sponge filters and filter balls (such as EGO3) is also not recommended because they cannot be cleaned properly. However, they can be used as disposable filters.
