How do I change my filter and keep my CleverSpa® clean?

If you would like help keeping your CleverSpa® clean, please follow the instructions below. 

Are you regularly changing your filter?

To help to keep your water clean, check your filter cartridge every day.

For optimal performance, your filter should be rinsed with clean water after each use to remove small particles and residues. The filter is one of the most important elements to ensure the efficient operation of your CleverSpa® hot tub.

If you are using your CleverSpa® 2-3 times per week, we suggest that you change your filter every 2 weeks to maintain the best performance.

The frequency of use and the state of your filter will determine how often your filter should be changed.

The filter cartridge can be rinsed periodically under a cold tap and reused. However, if the filter cartridge remains soiled and discoloured the filter cartridge should be replaced. If any holes are present in the paper filter or the paper in the cartridge is noticeably worn, replace the filter with a new one before further use. We DO NOT recommend the use of pressurised water to clean any CleverSpa® filters.

Smart tips to clean your filter

• Wash your filter in a machine (place it in a pillowcase) to keep it clean and maintain its performance.
• We suggest you rotate a few filters to always have a clean filter at your fingertips.
• Old/dirty filters need to be replaced with new ones; however, this cleaning trick should extend their service life.

Adjust your filter: When you replace your filter, turn the computer system clockwise. Do not squeeze too much as this would cause a "rattling" noise.

Remember: Sun cream, fake tan, soap etc can force the filter to work much harder, blocking the flow of water to the pump & heater, which can cause temperature fluctuations.

What do I do if the FC error code appears on my control panel?

‘FC’ and the warning tone are a reminder that you should replace the filter.

• To use the filtration system, press the ‘Filter’ button, a red light will appear and the pump will start to work.
• Press the ‘Filter’ button again once to stop the pump, the red light will go out.
• As a reminder to change your filter, after approx. 168 hours, the letters ‘FC’ will appear on the display screen, accompanied by a warning tone.
• The red light will still be lit on the ‘Filter’ button, but the pump will not be operational.
• The heating system will also not work and the red light will also be out on the ‘Heater’ button.
• To make sure the filtration system is actually off, you need to press the ‘Filter’ button again.
• The letters ‘FC’ on the display screen will disappear as well as the warning tone.
• The actual water temperature will be displayed, and all functions will return to their normal working status.

How do I keep my CleverSpa® clean?

To keep your CleverSpa® in pristine condition, always use the correct chemicals and regularly change your filters. Additionally, ensure the hot tub water is changed frequently, especially when used often.

Always use hot tub suitable products when cleaning, since household cleaners often contain phosphates which nurture algae growth or detergents that cause foam.

Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals will gradually accumulate in the CleverSpa’s water. To clean your CleverSpa®, use soap and water then rinse thoroughly.

Please note: do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.
