How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the spa before changing filters.

  • 1. Use genuine filters: Install only Lay‑Z‑Spa compatible filter cartridges of the correct size for your model.
  • 2. Rinse regularly: Rinse filters every few days and replace every 1–2 weeks depending on usage.
  • 3. Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not soak filters in strong acids or undiluted bleach; use approved filter cleaners.
  • 4. Check system pressure: Ensure inlet/outlet ports are not blocked and that the filter housing cap is properly installed.
  • If filters still collapse quickly: The pump may be over-pressurizing due to internal issues; seek professional advice.
