Hut tub error code showing? Flow error? Poor flow rate? Hot tub jets not powerful? What can we do about this?

The only easy thing you can do realistically is to check the filters.

In today’s busy world, it is easy to forget routine hot tub filter maintenance.

Any, or all, of the symptoms above can point in the direction of the filters or the pumps requiring attention. The pumps are a little beyond the scope of regular home maintenance, so we’ll concentrate on checking the filters.

Don’t forget, safety first! Remember to turn off the pumps and jets before you start.

If your hot tub has a skimmer basket above the filter housing, this is the first place to check for debris and blockage. Removing the basket if fitted, should reveal the filter(s) in the housing. 

Remove the filters and check for dirt and contamination. Sometimes the filters can appear on the outside but have quite a considerable build up of dirt hidden within the pleats. Gently part the pleats to inspect deep within.

Any dirt present should be removed with a deep clean cycle. Have a quick read of our Filter Care topics for help how to clean your filters.
