Never clean Whirlpool filter cartridges again, is that possible?

We all know this. The hot tub displays an error message that the hot tub filter are clogged or shuts down completely and no longer heats. Therefore, we all have to constantly (usually way too often) clean the filters of our hot tub. And as we all know, this can only be done quite awkwardly. When unscrewing, quite a bit of dirt from the paper cartridge filter goes back into the water. Then it needs to be rinsed - soaked in a cleaning solution - rinsed again - preferably with high pressure and above all actually from the inside out (which is almost impossible). The parts are usually very bulky, sometimes don't even fit in a sink, and in winter, dealing with the wet things is a nightmare anyway. And after cleaning 3, 4, 5 times, it's over, and we have to buy the next filter again, costing us another 30-80 euros depending on the hot tub brand.

With the EGO³ hot tub filters, it is much easier. The dirt stays in the filter. The cleaning is very quick and easy, and the filter material is simply replaced with new when it can no longer be cleaned, but at least it is much cheaper.

"Because the material is very inexpensive, we calculated what would happen if you simply never clean the balls. This means that if the balls are very heavily soiled, they will simply be replaced with new ones."

Here is our calculation for a hot tub filter cleaning with two filters:

• The circulation filter removes about 90% of the dirt already, meaning that the second filter only needs to be replaced about every fourth time.
• The EGO3 filter needs to be cleaned approximately every 8-16 weeks. We calculate with the average of 12 weeks.
• The dirt is not distributed evenly, meaning the upper balls are already very heavily soiled. However, the bottom balls are hardly soiled at all. So, even with the exchange, only about 80% of the balls will be exchanged.
• This results in a need for 45 balls per year for the circulation filter and 12 balls for the massage pump filter.
• In a big bag EGO3 filter balls, there are about 250 filter balls. This costs 99,- Euro including shipping when I order it individually.
• This results in costs of 25.22 euros per year!

RESULT:

25.22 Euro per year and you will NEVER have to clean hot tub filter again!

Even if you use the pool very, very heavily, we even take double that and include 50,- in the calculation. But that is still much cheaper than buying replaceable paper/fleece filter cartridges, but as I said never clean filters again and the additional benefits like less chemical need, clearer water, and longer lifespan of the components come for free!

Conclusion: Even if you never clean EGO3 filter balls but simply replace them, this system is significantly cheaper than all existing hot tub filter with filter paper or filter fleece. And for environmental reasons, there is nothing against it either. Old filter cartridges are residual waste that goes to the landfill. EGO3 filter material is made from recycled material and is recycled again. So you produce no waste at all.
