Searching for filter by filter number or filter size are the best options as manufacturers change filter configurations often, so it is many times not enough to know your spa model number.

A spa cartridge filter should be maintained so it lasts longer. This includes regular rinsing out with a garden hose. This allows for proper capturing of undesired dirt, hair, oils, particles and other hot tub debris.

The filter can also be soaked overnight in a cartridge filter cleaner especially made for opening up cartridge filter pores.

Spray on filter cleaners are also available. You can have a second filter that is used to rotate the first one out when it is being soaked overnight in filter cleaner.

Do not use any soap based cleaners or you will introduce a high volume of foam and oil into the water. Replace every year or so.
