Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today how to clean
the filter on your LAY-Z-SPA all right let's get cracking well in a minute!
Cleaning your own filters is a good way to save you some money but you can't beat
a brand new filter and I'll take you through a few tips to help keep your
filter clean and then I'll show you how to clean your filter to prevent the E02 error
Just a few tips to keep your LAY-Z-SPA water in Tip-Top condition if anyone is getting in your
LAY-Z-SPA make sure they have a nice shower before they get in this gets rid of any deodorant or skin
creams or sun cream anything like that that just helps keep your water nice and clean and make sure
you wipe your feet on a towel before you get into the LAY-Z-SPA then buy a cheap sieve and
just use this to get out any debris that's floating on the surface that's dead flies,
leaves anything like that, that will really help stop your filter getting clogged up quickly
The other tip is to make sure that you keep your chlorine tablets regularly changed, we've got the
ChemConnect device to distribute the chlorine and there's a link above now about how to use that.
This is the E02 error that you may be getting on your LAY-Z-SPA if the filter
is dirty first thing you must do is switch off the LAY-Z-SPA at the mains and also unplug it
and the filter is the bottom one here the top one is the ChemConnect that is what distributes
the chlorine into the water so to remove the LAY-Z-SPA filter just unscrew this anti-clockwise
comes off nice and easily
just drain off any excess water outside then we'll take this inside remove the
filter and I'll show you how to give them a good clean undo the screw cover on the front
then the whole casing just lifts upwards
and that is the filter there now you may find if you've got lots of people in your
house with lots of long hair this will get matted inside this casing here inside those
rubber bits on the side so just pull out any long hairs from here this one is actually
not too bad just give it a rinse with some fresh water because this may be a bit slimy
again with the casing give that a good clean this one is dirty but
it's not too bad but compared with a brand new one these are super clean
the first phase of cleaning is just to take a spare toothbrush or an old toothbrush
with some hot soapy water
just give the filters a really good clean nice scrub with this toothbrush get out any
bits of large bits of debris any hair anything that's matting inside here you can already see
some debris already falling out this is the first phase of the cleaning process
just give this a really good scrub
and that is already looking loads better
what I'll do now is take the dirty filters I've got here
throw them in the washing machine and it's better to put at least two filters in the washing machine
because then they're bashing around against each other and helping them to clean each other
then just use a slight bit of washing detergent you don't need too much just a very small amount
on this washing machine there's a super quick wash so I'm going to select that
so it does a 30 minute wash I'm going to just up the temperature slightly to 40 degrees centigrade
make sure it's on the lowest RPM for the rinse and
spin at the end because obviously we don't need them to be super dry
and then hit the Start button this is going to take 35 minutes but obviously I'll cut all this
footage short this is a really good way of just helping to clean your filters just to help them
last a bit longer just save you a bit of cash they don't come out anywhere near like brand
new ones but it just helps prolong the life before you have to go and buy some new ones,
whilst they're being cleaned in the washing machine there's a link above now about how
to add additional air to your LAY-Z-SPA so if that's getting a little bit soggy you just need to
pump up a bit of extra air into it, so these are getting a nice good clean in the washing machine
as I mentioned right at the beginning of the video you cannot clean the filters forever
eventually they will start to break down I did actually manage to get a box of 10 brand
new ones off a well-known auction site for a pretty good value but it seems so wasteful
just to use them for a week and then just dump them and you can just give them a good clean
whilst
it's washing there's a link above about how to use the LAY-Z-SPA keypad that's
just an overview of how it all works and how the buttons work
six minutes left
already seen there they're just starting to look a lot cleaner
two minutes left no time to boil an egg maybe time to have a cup of tea which
obviously we'll do at the end which we have to do in all my how-to videos
one minute left the end right turn the washing machine into the off position
and here are the three filters
looking much much cleaner than when they went in obviously still not as good as a brand new filter
but let's compare them with what they used to look like before they went in the washing
machine pretty disgusting and now yeah loads better, a quick washing machine tip always leave
your dispenser drawer and drum door open after a wash that just stops your washing machine going
mouldy helps with ventilation stops it smelling, the other option to clean your filter is to use
a jet washer and an old toilet roll holder and just give this a good blast unfortunately we're
currently in a hose pipe ban so I can't actually do this! All right one of these filters is ready
to go back in the LAY-Z-SPA so just put it inside the filter housing put the cover on
just push it down then take the Locking nut screw that in clockwise this should
be nice and simple don't force It if it's not going on properly it's only a plastic thread
this filter is now ready to go back in the LAY-Z-SPA
again these are all plastic threads on the screws so if it doesn't feel like
it's going on correctly don't try and force it it should just go on very very easily
there we go it's already going on if you're screwing it on clockwise
it doesn't have to be crazy tight as soon as it's locked in there we go
remember to turn the Spa back on and press the orange TEST button to get the power on
then press the power on button on the keypad set the temperature of
the LAY-Z-SPA then I'm going to turn on the heater and the water filtration system
so it's currently 30 degrees the water and I want it to be a toasty
36 degrees centigrade and to help it warm up quicker I'm just going to put the cover on
whilst I'm waiting I'm going to have a quick cup of tea
I'll tell you what a nice Summer's Day in the LAY-Z-SPA absolutely lovely
