Key Features

• High Performance: Filters water faster and captures debris through the depth of the media rather than just the surface.
• Less Maintenance: Requires cleaning less frequently than standard paper or polyester filters.
• Compatibility: Fits select Hot Spring Highlife and High-Performance spa models dating from 1989/1997 to current models as an upgrade or direct replacement.

Cleaning — Simplified

1. Backflush through the core: Direct water through the center of the filter to push trapped debris back out through the way it entered.
2. Rinse the exterior: Thoroughly rinse the outside of the filter until the water runs clear.
3. Return it to service: No pleats to work through and no special technique is required.

Follow the cleaning frequency recommended in your owner’s manual, and use a filter cleaner as directed for periodic deep cleaning.

Pro Tip: Backflush first, then rinse the outside. This helps remove trapped debris from the filter media before rinsing the exterior.
