Does the square footage of the filter mean cleaner water?
More filters or larger square footage filters do not mean cleaner water. Maximum water filtration on Easy Life Hot Tubs is accomplished thru a main filter located on the pressure side of the pump forcing the spa water thru the tine pleats of the filter trapping debris. Water does not bypass the filter as in other suction-side systems. A filter is simply used to take out contaminants, hair, skin cells and contaminants that have been burned up by the water sanitizer. Filters have nothing to do with sanitizing your water. You will notice that many manufacturers over compensate in filtration and have up to five filters in their units. Filters need to be replaced annually and this cost (up to $50 per filter) should be accounted for when you calculate the total operating cost of your hot tub. Maintain a level of ozone and bromine, when needed, and keep your filter clean for simple maintenance and assurance of crystal clean water.
