AquaSPArkle Hot Tub Bromine Pod


What is AquaSPArkle?





AquaSPArkle is a prefilled inline bromine dosing pod for your hot tub. It is simple to use, effective, and takes just a few moments to place a pod inside the filter or attach to an inbuilt chemical dispenser frame using the clip included in every box.





Tell me about the AquaSPArkle pods





The pods are very similar to the Darlly Sanistream system pods used for inline sanitiser dosing. Darlly Sanistream pods are supplied unfilled for your choice of either Chlorine or Bromine tablets.





AquaSPArkle pods are supplied pre-filled with bromine for convenience and to help reduce chemical handling.





Are the pods adjustable for dosing?





AquaSPArkle pods are easily adjustable allowing the dosing to be tailored to your individual requirement. Heavy use, standard use, holiday cover or anywhere in between.





Used in a commercial environment such as holiday lets, AquaSPArkle pods can help with HSG282 compliance.





How do I use the pods?





Use AquaSPArkle pods with Darlly Sanistream filters, either clicked onto the filter lid or placed on the internal pod support inside the filter.





Dosing level is easily adjustable simply by twisting the pod until you find the ideal setting for your individual requirement and hot tub loading.





How are AquaSPArkle pods supplied?





AquaSPArkle pods are individually wrapped and supplied in a pack of three. Included, is a clip to attach a pod to a chemical dispenser frame if required.

Blocked hot tub filter or Flow Error Message?


Does your hot tub have a blocked hot tub filter or Flow Error Message?





A possible cause of a Flow Error Message is a filter desperately in need of a clean.





When did you last check the filters for dirt and contamination or clean them properly? Really properly, not just a quick swill with a hose pipe as this won’t help address the real problem here. 





Filter checks should not only be based on time periods, such as weekly or monthly. Consider how often the hot tub has been used, by how many and the possible dirt and contamination that may have entered the water. The filters may need cleaning more often if the usage is higher than usual.





Do your Hot Tub Filters block quickly? Check out our My Hot Tub Filter Blocks Quickly, Is It Faulty? Filter Care topic.





What does a filter remove from the water? 





Knowing common contaminants and how they can enter the water can help us to understand the reasoning behind the need for high quality filtration and water care.





Quality Darlly filters trap most contamination that enters the hot tub water, ranging from fake tan to leaves and dead insects. Other contaminants can include make-up, hair, dirt carried in on the bottom of bather’s feet etc.





Why does a hot tub need filters?





The way filters work is quite simple. Dirty contaminated water is pumped through the filter which collects the dirt, body oils, and debris from the flow. The clean filtered water then returns to the hot tub. Read our Why does a hot tub need filters Filter Care topic.





Can I use a hot tub without filters installed?





The short answer is definitely no. Without a filter, the water would soon become contaminated with dirt from the environment (dust, leaves, insects etc), and from the hot tub users (Sunscreen, tanning products, make-up, deodorant, body oils, dirt, hair etc).





Without efficient filtration, these contaminants would soon build up to a critical level in the water. If left unaddressed, the bathing water can become cloudy, and algae growth is a possibility. 





This can upset the balance of the water. Chemical usage increases in trying to deal with the problem. This in turn hastens water saturation where the chemicals cease to be effective. As a result, the water can then become damaging to the hot tub mechanicals and possibly affect the surface feel of the hot tub moulding.

What is the Darlly Filter Bucket?


Darlly Filter Bucket





The Darlly Filter bucket is a space-saving design which is ideally suited to the cleaning of most hot tub filters.









The collapsable Darlly Filter Bucket is ideally dimensioned to accommodate either two shorter filters or one longer filter.





The bucket internal measurements are :-  





Maximum filter(s) length total :-   +/- 51cm





Maximum filter diameter :-  16cm submerged , 20cm (Not fully submerged).





The filter length is approximate as filters’ overall length can include external threads and handles. These can sometimes be overlapped to fit in the bucket when cleaning two filters.





PHOTOS OF BUCKETS WITH ONE AND TWO FILTERS




Filters between 16-20cm diameter will fit into the bucket but will not be fully submerged, but occasionally can easily be rotated slightly to ensure even cleaning.





The shape and proportions of the bucket help reduce the amount of water and cleaning agent required to soak the filters compared to a bulky conventional round bucket. When cleaning is complete, the convenient pouring lip will help to make life a little easier when emptying the bucket. For more information about filter cleaning, follow the link to our Filter Cleaning Filter Care topic.





The 19cm tall bucket collapses down to less than 8cm including the folded handle, 6.5cm without, allowing it to hang conveniently on a wall, or be stored neatly on a shelf.

My Hot Tub filter blocks quickly, is it faulty?


Blocked Hot Tub Filter





My Hot Tub filter blocks quickly, is it faulty?





It is unlikely, so let us investigate why it is getting blocked.





Are you getting water flow errors?





If your hot tub filter gets blocked quickly, the chances are that it isn’t the filter that is the problem.





The filter is doing exactly what it is designed to do, collecting the dirt, debris and contaminants from the water, allowing bathers to enjoy clear clean water.  





Maybe the question should be ‘Why is the hot tub filter getting blocked?’ rather than ‘My Hot Tub filter blocks quickly, is it faulty?’





How does this dirt and contamination get into the hot tub?





Some is environmental, such as dust and dirt blowing about in the atmosphere, pollen, leaves, twigs, suicidal insects etc.





Most of it is transported into the hot tub by the bathers, often unknowingly.





How can I reduce this contamination entering the hot tub?





A few simple steps are all that is required to substantially reduce the contamination introduced into the hot tub.





Check that the hot tub cover fits neatly and securely on top of the tub, ensuring that there aren’t any gaps that would allow access for insects or dust. This also helps to retain heat within the tub. 





Let’s not beat about the bush here. Bathers are responsible for taking much of the contamination into the hot tub. Bathers should always shower before hot-tubbing. 





Care should be taken to reduce the possibility of contamination as far as possible. 





What do people take into the hot tub with themselves? 





The list is quite extensive; hair products (hair spray, colouring, shampoo and conditioner), make-up, tanning products, hair, skin flakes, contamination from clothing etc inc. soaps, detergents, and softeners, deodorants, sweat, dirt carried in on soles of feet, all contribute towards a reduction in water quality. 





All dirt and contaminants can affect the water balance. This all adds to the cost of chemicals required to maintain the water balance, in addition to increased filter cleaning, maintenance and replacement.





Spilled food and beverages also have a detrimental effect on water quality and filter contamination.





Filters





Filters of differing qualities and price are available. There will probably also be a be a significant variation in the performance of the filters.





A cheaper filter may have a smaller area of filter material than a quality filter which may restrict or block flow sooner than a quality filter.





The cheaper filter may also have a poorer quality filtration material and therefore fail to remove the unwanted contaminants efficiently from the water.





Darlly Quality Filters are designed to trap contaminants and debris efficiently. This not only helps to maintain water quality, it also helps protect the workings of the hot tub. Darlly filter material is also tough, durable, and robust enough to withstand repeated cleaning cycles, thus having a significantly longer service life than a cheap filter whilst maintaining its highly efficient filtration capability.





Not sure how to properly clean your hot tub filter? Read our Filter Care Topic ‘How to clean a dirty hot tub filter





How long should a hot tub filter last for?





As you can imagine, it is undesirable to have contaminated, dirty, and greasy water running through the pumps or contaminating the unseen under-tub pipework and plumbing supplying the jets. Now that could really end up being expensive to remedy!





To enjoy our hot tub experience, what we desire most is clean water. 





By using Darlly quality filters, keeping contamination out of the hot tub by taking a little extra care, and with regular hot tub and filter maintenance, this can be achieved.

Hot Tub Checks and regular maintenance to save money


Regular hot tub maintenance





Hot Tub Checks and Maintenance saves money – regular maintenance saves you money. Here is a typical sample regime of hot tub maintenance. This will keep your hot tub water safe and crystal clear, minimise the amount of time and money you spend on it, and maximise the time you spend enjoying it.





Check with your retailer for the exact regime for your hot tub, some filter systems vary by manufacturer.
pH should be maintained at 7.0 to 7.6. Ideally the close to 7.0 is best.





If using Bromine: Bromine residual should be maintained at 2 to 4mg/l (ppm).





If using Inorganic Chlorine (usually Sodium Hypochlorite or Calcium Hypochlorite):
Chlorine residual to be maintained at: 2 to 4mg/l (ppm).





If using Organic Chlorine (usually Stabilised Chlorine such as DiChlor or Tri-chlor):
Chlorine residual to be maintained at: 3 to 5 mg/l (ppm).





Total Alkalinity to be maintained at:
80 to 160 ppm. (industry parameters).





Hot Tub Checks Daily





Daily checks






  • The water should always be tested before use to ascertain pH and sanitiser readings. 




  • Add required chemicals, as necessary, to correct any out of parameter readings, according to the manufacturer’s directions on the packaging. 




  • Check the status of bromine tablets in the dispenser (if using bromine tablets) and add more if necessary. (Use pH Minus to reduce a high pH OR pH Plus to raise a low pH).





NB: Do not check pH for at least 20 minutes after the hot tub was last used to allow time for all bubbles to dissipate.





Hot Tub Checks Monthly





Monthly checks





Please note the following may need to be carried out more frequently.






  •  Add a clarifying agent according to the manufacturer’s instructions to help maintain water clarity. This should not be needed always but may be required e.g. after a party.






  • Check T.A. (Total Alkalinity) level and, if required, add a T.A. increase.






  • Add a Scale & Stain Inhibiting agent according to the manufacturer’s instructions This helps to maintain water clarity, and to prevent scale formation and cloudy water. NB: Do not carry this out on the same day that you add the clarifying agent.





Filters





Remove the pleated filter cartridge and clean thoroughly. For more information, follow the link to our Filter Care topic How to clean a dirty hot tub filter






  • Top Tip: Given that it is necessary to allow a cleaned and rinsed filter to dry out before returning it to the hot tub, it is a good idea to buy a second set of spare filters so that whilst one set are being cleaned, rinsed and dried, the second set can be in the hot tub filtering the water. This ensures that you have no downtime and you can still enjoy your hot tub whilst one set of filters are being cleaned.





Water






  • Oxidise (or “shock dose” with non-chlorine shock) the hot tub with an oxidising agent according to the manufacturer’s instructions to help eliminate bather waste after heavy use.




  • SuperChlorinate with a quick dissolving Calcium Hypochlorite at 20ppm for 2.5 hours to try to eliminate bacteria that may have developed a resistance to the sanitiser at normal residuals and to oxidise biological impurities in the water. NB: If the hot tub is particularly heavily used after a party, for instance, it may be necessary to oxidise more often.






  • Super-chlorination using a quick-dissolving calcium hypochlorite will both oxidise to help break down Combined Chlorine and will quickly kill bacteria. Shock dosing a hot tub at 20 ppm for 2.5
    hours is recommended upon initial fill of a hot tub and monthly thereafter.




  • For more information on Darlly Inline dosing pod system check out our FilterCare topic How to look after your hot tub water quality





Hot Tub Checks Ideally Monthly, But Not More Than Three Months (Maximum!)






  • Completely drain the hot tub down and clean the inside of the shell with a specialist hot tub surface cleaning product. DO NOT under any circumstances use proprietary household cleaning products such as Jif, Flash, Fairy etc. The drain-down time is dependent on how heavily used it is, especially if the water chemistry becomes harder to maintain despite all your efforts or if the water looks lank, tired, and slightly musty, despite the chemistry being within the parameters.






  • A hot tub will most likely see its heaviest usage in the first six months of ownership, so you will need to ensure you’re particularly diligent until it settles down to a more regular pattern of use.





ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE POWER TO A HOT TUB WHEN REMOVING THE FILTER.





ALWAYS STORE, HANDLE, AND ADD HOT TUB CHEMICALS ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS ON THE MANUFACTURER’S PACKAGING. ENSURE YOU USE AND OPERATE YOUR HOT TUB ACCORDING TO THE OWNER’S MANUAL.





Learning the basics of looking after your hot tub is essential. You can also talk with a reputable retailer from BISHTA, as most offer a range of service and maintenance packages according to your needs and budgets.


When should you replace Hot Tub Filters?






When to replace hot tub filters









Treat yourself and your hot tub pumps with new filters this spring!





Start the year as you mean to go on, enjoying crystal clear water with high quality Darlly filters.





When did you last replace your hot tub filters?





It really is time that this hot tub filter is replaced. Regular cleaning and maintenance could have prevented this<br />
Replace this filter!












End of last year? Beginning of last year? Earlier? What condition are they in now, and more to the point, are they still capable of efficiently filtering out the contaminants in the water to give you the most relaxing and enjoyable bathing experience?





Enjoyment of the hot tub experience is most definitely enhanced by clear clean water.













Protecting the hot tub pumps





Your expensive hot tub pumps will also benefit from the protection offered by regularly maintained high quality filters. Contaminants and debris present in the water will be efficiently removed from the flow reducing the possibility of damage being caused to the pumps. Dirt and debris as well as an abnormal pH level can have a detrimental effect on the life expectancy of the pumps.





Hot tub without a filter





Without an efficient filter, the water would soon become contaminated with debris from the environment (dust, leaves, insects etc) and contaminants from the hot tub users such as sunscreen, tanning products, make-up, deodorant, body oils, dirt, hair etc.





Without efficient filtration, these contaminants would soon build up to a critical level in the water. If left unaddressed, the bathing water can become cloudy and algae growth is a possibility. This can upset the balance of the water and chemical usage increases in trying to deal with the problem, which in turn hastens water saturation to the point where the chemicals cease to be effective. As a result, the water can then become damaging to the hot tub mechanicals and/or affect the surface feel of the hot tub moulding.





Darlly Filters





Clean replacement hot tub filter<br />




In addition to the range of standard filters, Darlly also manufacture Darlly Sanistream in-line dosing filters that can add bromine of chorine directly into the flow.





Darlly Silverstream filters in which the filter media is impregnated with silver ion particles which help to reduce bacteria both suspended in the water and also collected by the filter.

Filter cleaning – Filter Cleaning Brush comparison


Today, we are looking at the efficiency and performance advantage of the SC785 Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner compared to a basic device.





Darlly cyclone filter cleaner




The Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner brush has been designed to clean your hot tub filters quickly and efficiently. The unit attaches to a standard garden hose connector and has the facility to dispense filter cartridge cleaner directly into the water stream to penetrate deep inside the filter pleats, and at the same time removing dirt and debris with the brush.





Darlly Filter Cartridge Cleaner (SC796) can be added to the Cyclone dispenser via the screw cap on the handle.





Darlly Cyclone in action




The Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner separates the pleats of the filter material, brushing between them efficiently whilst spraying with water and filter cartridge cleaner dispensed by the unit. 





We can compare this with a different design of tool, pictured below, featuring hard moulded plastic fingers and without a brush or the option to dispense cartridge filter cleaner fluid into the waterstream.









As can be seen in the photo below, when inserted into the filter the fingers appear to gather several pleats together between the plastic fingers on each cleaning stroke, thus closing those pleats and with the possibility of allowing the retention of some dirt and contamination rather than separating the pleats to allow efficient cleaning of the filter and also without the option of adding filter cleaning fluid to the water to clean away the dirt, grease and grime.









To summarise, it can be seen that the Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner can be more effective at separating the filter material pleats with a brush to allow the water jets with added cartridge filter cleaner to work more efficiently removing the dirt and contaminants collected by the filter than a basic device without these features.





The Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner has two rows of brushes, a built-in detergent dispenser and water jets to help with your routine hot tub maintenance.

How should I drain and hibernate my hot tub? and store filters for winter?


If you decide not to run your hot tub through the winter months (except for your Christmas and New Year treat of course!) how might you go about it, what should you consider and how should you prepare and store the filters?





1.    First step is to turn off the mains power supply to the hot tub. There shouldn’t be any power getting to the hot tub at all, it must be completely isolated electrically.  Take note, this is for your safety!                                           





2.    Drain the water from the hot tub as normal, either via the drain point and a hose or use a submersible pump to speed up the process.    (Always refer to the hot tub manufacturer’s owners manual for information regarding your hot tub draining, refilling and maintenance). You really won’t want to miss this opportunity to give the hot tub a thorough washdown and clean to ensure that it is ready to go when you refill it.  Don’t forget to clean under the headrests! 





3.    Remove the filters and clean using a Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner with Darlly Filter Cartridge Cleaner and if required, leave to soak in a cleaning solution until thoroughly clean. The filters should then be rinsed and left to dry thoroughly before being stored safely in a dry location in readiness for refitting next time you use the hot tub. Don’t forget to keep two sets of filters to enable swift filter changes to enjoy continuous bathing at filter change time. Check out our How To Clean a hot tub Filtertopic for more information.





4.    When the hot tub and underside of the cover are completely dry, refit the cover ensuring that it prevents any water ingress into the tub. Any moisture remaining inside may allow mould or algae to form whilst it is closed up. A few extra minutes work now ensuring that it is completely dry will save much cleaning time prior to refilling the hot tub next time you wish to enjoy it.  





We hope you enjoy reading our Filter Care topics. If you have any suggestions for any other filter topics that you would like us to cover, please drop us a line.

What are the main benefits of buying quality filters


Filters are filters right? They all look the same so they will all filter the water and do the same job won’t they? 





Some brands are a little more expensive and some brands are cheaper. 





I’m trying to spend less and save the £££’s so why should I spend more money when I can get a cheaper filter?





This all sounds very attractive, and a good idea at the moment, with people tightening their financial belts, but in reality, does it make sense or is it false economy?





Generally, in life, we know that quality pays in the long run. The old adage, buy quality buy once, buy cheap buy twice applies to many products and services that we choose to invest our hard-earned cash into.





Let us take a moment to look at the filters in our hot tub, what they do for us and how they look after us whilst we are spending time relaxing and chilling out in our hot tubs. Finding out a little more about the tough life of a filter will help us to understand the benefits, efficiency, longer service life and the financial advantages of a quality filter. 





Enjoyment of the hot tub experience is most definitely enhanced by clear clean water.





Dirty or contaminated water is pumped through the filter which collects any dirt and debris from the flow, the dirt is trapped within the filter and the filtered water is returned to the hot tub.





Without a quality filter, the water would soon become contaminated with contaminants from the environment (dust, leaves, insects etc) and from the hot tub users (Sunscreen, tanning products, make-up, deodorant, body oils, dirt, hair etc).





Without efficient filtration, these contaminants would soon build up to a critical level in the water. If left unaddressed, the bathing water can become cloudy and algae growth is a possibility. This can upset the balance of the water and chemical usage increases in trying to deal with the problem, which in turn hastens water saturation where the chemicals cease to be effective. As a result, the water can then become damaging to the hot tub mechanicals and/or affect the surface feel of the hot tub moulding.





High quality filters help to maintain high water quality for your enjoyment and piece of mind. 





To maintain the desired high level of filtration, the filters require regular maintenance. The involves removing the existing filters and replacing with clean ones. The removed filters should be thoroughly cleaned using filter cleaning fluid. Just a quick hose down is not sufficient to clean them. The filter should be inspected to check that the filter material is not damaged, ripped or torn. If the filter material is damaged or compromised in any way, the filter should be replaced. In this condition, it will not filter the water efficiently or effectively.





An effective method to remove dirt and debris from pleated filters is to use the Darlly Cyclone Filter Cleaner (SC785) filter cartridge cleaner which easily attaches to any standard garden hose, followed by Darlly Filter Cartridge Cleaner (SC796).





The filters should be soaked overnight in a cleaning solution such as our Darlly Filter Cartridge Cleaner (SC796). Follow the simple instructions on the packaging to mix the solution. This can be mixed in a bucket and the filter(s) should then be submerged in the solution and to left to soak overnight for deep cleaning.





After removing from the solution, a thorough wash with a garden hose will complete the procedure before the filters are left to dry before use.





A thoroughly cleaned filter will provide more efficient filtration than a poorly cleaned one.









It can be advantageous to have two sets of filters to allow continued filtration and to help maintain water quality during the cleaning process.





The effectiveness of the filters can be seen by the amount of contamination trapped in the pleats of the fabric. Darlly’s high-quality robust filters are designed to withstand repeated cleaning cycles to ensure a long service life. Low cost alternatives may not trap contaminants in the same efficient manner or withstand as many cleaning cycles whilst still maintaining filter integrity and filtration efficiency required to maintain the water quality for you to enjoy.





So, back to the original question ‘Filters are filters, right?’ If your filters have a longer lifespan, you need to replace them less often. Fewer filters, fewer ££’s spent…





Higher quality filtration results in higher water quality to enjoy.





Would you want to sit in anything else?  





Quality filters can work out less expensive over time with the added benefit of enjoying higher quality water. 





Higher quality water usually results in fewer expensive chemical treatments too, thus saving money on chemicals. 





Also remember the environmental aspect, fewer filters and chemicals is kinder to our wonderful planet. A win-win here!





In addition to the range of standard filters, Darlly also manufacture Darlly Silverstream filters in which the filter media is impregnated with silver ion particles which help to reduce bacteria both suspended in the water and also collected by the filter.
