If your filter becomes clogged with dirt, it can cause an unpleasant smell. From experience, we know that this smell comes from your filter and not from the water itself. The filter is an important part of your spa or hot tub. This is where all the dirt and bacteria are collected. To enjoy your spa water to the full, it is essential to keep your filters clean.
Simple weekly treatment:
• Remove the filter.
• Fill a bucket with 10 litre of warm water.
• Add 2 AquaFinesse Filter Cleaning tablets. (small filters 1 tablet)
• Insert the filter in the bucket and leave for at least 1 hour (if your filter is heavily soiled you may leave it in the cleaning fluid for up to 24 hours).
• Be sure the filter is completely submerged in the water, if this is not possible turn the filter regularly to ensure complete cleaning.
• After one hour rinse the filter in the upright position with a strong stream of tapwater/hosepipe water working from the top to bottom.
• Insert filter back into the filterhouse of your hot tub.
(If possible allow the filter to dry before replacing, we recommend buying an extra filter to allow you to do this).
For years, CEO and founder J. de Rijk of AquaFinesse has been fascinated by the topic of water maintenance. This is mainly done using filters and disinfection. There are different ways of disinfecting. For example, with chlorine. However, other countries also permit other disinfectants, such as bromide, peroxide, etc. But according to him, it should be possible to do this in a more environmentally friendly way.
After years of study and the perusal of scientific reports on the causes of water pollution, the researchers of Special Water in the Netherlands (AquaFinesse) established as early as 2004 that the real cause of bacterial contamination stems from the bacterial nursery. We call this the biofilm. This discovery was revolutionary at that time because the role of biofilm was not clear until then. You will find biofilm when, for example, unclogging drain pipes. However, this also occurs in the hot tub, spa or swimming pool. This is the layer of slime that adheres to the inside of drain pipes, among other things. This biofilm forms the bacterial survival and defence system. Here they live protected and can multiply unrestrained. It is even possible for legionella to develop in the biofilm.
The patented AquaFinesse formula soaks the biofilm away from the walls and breaks it open. As a result, the bacteria enter the free water and lose their protection. Now you only need a minimal amount of disinfection to eliminate the bacteria. In addition, AquaFinesse forms a layer on the walls so that the biofilm can no longer adhere. Bacteria can no longer adhere to the walls.
AquaFinesse also positively encourages disinfectants, as a result their consumption decreases significantly. This is better for the environment, but also for your health and especially for the skin during bathing. This is also the reason why many people with skin problems use AquaFinesse. You can feel the softness of the water that nourishes, maintains and does not dry out the skin. In addition, it ensures a stable pH. Visibly clear water and a fantastic experience!
