SpaGuard Filter Cleaner | Spa Cartridge Degreaser

• 1 x SpaGuard Filter Cleaner (liquid concentrate)

Note: Filter Cleaner is a concentrate — for the soak method it's diluted 1 part cleaner to 3 parts water. A single bottle cleans many cartridges. Keep it tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place; mix only with water, never with other chemicals.

• Removes oils, dirt, grime, and scale — clears the buildup embedded in the filter fabric that rinsing alone can't.
• Restores filtration and circulation — a clean cartridge moves water freely and filters more effectively.
• Extends filter life — regular cleaning lengthens filter cycles and delays cartridge replacement.
• Reduces chemical use — a well-functioning filter keeps water clearer, so you spend less on other chemicals.
• Two application methods — fast spray-on clean or a deeper 1-hour soak for heavy buildup.
• Works on all spa filter types — compatible with all common spa cartridge filters.

A spa filter cartridge is made of pleated fabric that traps contaminants as water passes through. The problem is that body oils and lotions are sticky — they coat the fibers and bind dirt and scale into a film that a quick rinse only removes from the surface. Underneath, the cartridge stays clogged, and a clogged filter restricts flow and filters poorly.

SpaGuard Filter Cleaner uses degreasing agents that break down and lift that oily film out of the fabric, all the way into the pleats. Once the binding oils are dissolved, the trapped dirt and scale rinse away freely, leaving the cartridge clean down to the fibers. The result is restored flow, better filtration, and a cartridge that performs like it should — for longer.

Pro Tip: Clean your filter on a schedule — every 4 to 6 weeks is the typical recommendation. Waiting until you notice cloudy water or weak jets means the buildup is already affecting performance. A standing reminder keeps your filter ahead of the problem.

Remove the filter element and rinse off excess debris with a garden hose (moderate pressure). Then choose one method:

Spray Method (Quick Clean)

1. Spray the product directly onto the filter.
2. Allow it to soak for 15 minutes. Light brushing may be needed for heavy oil, dirt, or scale.
3. Rinse the element clean with maximum garden-hose pressure.
4. Reassemble the filter and resume normal operation.

Soak Method (Deep Clean)

1. Mix a solution of 1 part Filter Cleaner to 3 parts water in a clean container.
2. Place the cartridge into the solution and soak for 1 hour.
3. Rinse the element clean with maximum garden-hose pressure.
4. Reassemble the filter and resume normal operation.

Pro Tip: After rinsing, let the cartridge air-dry before reinstalling if you can. A dry filter seats better and lets you spot any tears, frayed pleats, or a collapsed core that mean it's time for a replacement rather than another cleaning.
