Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Spa Filter
Even the best filters don’t last forever. Spa filters work hard to trap oils, lotions, dirt, and debris. If your spa water isn’t as clear as usual, or you’re noticing frequent chemical imbalances, it may be time to replace your cartridge. Common signs include:
-
Cloudy water despite chemical balancing
-
Reduced water flow or jet performance
-
Filter media fraying or collapsing
-
Difficulty keeping sanitizer levels stable
-
Visible buildup that rinsing can’t remove
On average, spa filters should be replaced every 12–18 months, depending on usage and maintenance.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Replacing your Unicel 6CH-960 filter is simple and requires no tools:
-
Turn off your spa pump.
-
Remove the filter cover and unscrew the old cartridge.
-
Install the new Unicel cartridge, ensuring it threads securely.
-
Replace the filter cover and restart your system.
For best performance, rinse your filter with a hose every 2–4 weeks. Use a filter cleaner periodically to dissolve oils and extend its lifespan.
Long-Lasting Performance You Can Trust
Unicel filters are engineered to outlast generic brands thanks to high-quality materials and construction. Each filter is designed to:
-
Resist chemical degradation from chlorine and bromine.
-
Withstand hot water and constant circulation.
-
Provide consistent flow without collapsing or clogging prematurely.
-
Deliver superior dirt-trapping capacity for sparkling clean water.
Investing in a genuine Unicel filter saves money in the long run by reducing replacements and keeping your spa system running efficiently.
Protect Your Spa and Your Health
Clean water isn’t just about clarity—it’s also about safety. A dirty or clogged filter can lead to:
-
Bacteria and algae growth
-
Cloudy, unpleasant water
-
Stress on your spa pump and heater
-
Higher chemical costs due to imbalance
The Unicel 6CH-960 helps prevent these issues by maintaining optimal filtration and circulation. That means you’ll spend less time troubleshooting water problems and more time enjoying your spa.
