Filtration
The filtration system of your hot tub will keep your water clear and clean if used properly. The
filter cartridge element(s) will trap most solid materials and debris in the water. However, the
presence of materials such as body oils or other particles which are too small to be captured
in the filter(s) may bring about various undesirable water quality conditions. These conditions
can be corrected with the use of hot tub treatment chemicals which are available from your
Jacuzzi Premium Spas dealer. Such conditions include the following:
Foaming: A defoamer is available to minimize foaming of the water. This condition is usually
caused by the addition of soaps or oils, or other fatty substances to the hot tub water. The
interaction of these with hot water, especially at high pH (more alkaline), will cause the water
to foam. (Refer to Water Quality Definitions.)
Oil Film or Cloudy Water: Add water clarifier to congeal oil film on the water surface into
globules sufficiently large enough to be trapped by the systems filter(s). Cloudiness is caused
by particles that are too small to be trapped in the filter(s), and is also due to the presence of
human body oils, lotions, and cosmetics. During normal use, these materials can accumulate
on the filter element(s) and clog its pores. The addition of clarifier will make the water clearer,
but clogged filters must be cleaned as prescribed under the section entitled Filter Maintenance
in this manual.
Hard Water: Add a demineralizer to break down or deionize mineral particles present in the
hot tub water. Follow the Filter Maintenance procedure described in this manual to ensure
optimum performance of your hot tub’s filtration system.
