When you add this to your hot tub do you pour it directly in the filter area or spread it around the hot tub?

We actually own a swim spa which is basically a large hot tub with swim jets on one end. We put all our chemicals directly in the water in front of those jets so it can circulate through the water easily.

I pour my chemicals near the jets so that the chemical is quickly spread around the spa. I usually try to pour a little in each corner of the spa and let the jets do the rest.

just pour it in, it will run through the filter anyway - keep in mind it will cause a lot of scum to collect/ coagulate on the surface. I use my shop vac to suck this stuff out off the surface - it takes awhile to get it all though. and it is a PIA - but it works

Add directly to pool with filter pump and submersible cleaner (if you have it) on first. It will disolve slowly as the water moves. Try to distribute it around the pool. I used this product for years and it does the job!!

I place the metal side towards the intake, just like the filter in my air conditioner return. Neither of these filters offer an installation direction. I believe that the metal attracts larger charged particles before they enter the filter.

I throw it in the tub while filling and let it float around so the auction cups get warm and softer. Then, just before the water level reaches where the bottom attaches I will apply to the overflow valve.

It is a filter itself - and has a finite number of gallons of water it can filter. Ive used mine for years, and it still fills the hot tub with clear water each time.

Since this is the prefilter media I would say place it in the top basket where it will trap larger debris (but I am not sure much will get past the outer foam inserts). It also helps to "break up" the water current to get a more even spread in the basket. The very similar looking Bio-Max rings are biological surface area modules that should be placed in the bottom media basket.

Wash the filter regularly when you have air moving through your furnace or AC, if so equipped. My central AC runs through my furnace so I'm running pretty much year round so I also have a second filter ready to go as I clean/dry the dirty one.

It is right behind the grates where the air comes out. You drop down the grate. The filter is right there. You wash it and put it back, or you can vacuum it from the front without removing the grate.

My hottub is not standard, it is a wooden tub with a submersed wood burning furnace. I added an external swimming pool filter and the Spa Stick does not fit into the filter, so I hang it over the side on a cord and let the water from the filter run over it. This keeps the spa clean for 4 months per mineral sanatizer. You need to add a small amount of chlorine to make the spa stick start to work, I use 2 small 1 inch diameter chlorine tabs for this purpose. I also put 1 ounce of pool shock into the water about every 2 weeks.

It's intended to be inserted between two sections of the hose connected to your existing pool cleaner/vac. It prevents little things sucked in by the cleaner/vac from getting to the filter and pump.

That would work but personally, I would put the filter before the softener. The rest sounds ok.

no need to empty water. Just add salt to current tub. Unless of course the water is due to be changed.

If there is room in your filter, you may as well just add it. However, it can take the place of your charcoal if you don't have the room. My filters not have the room, so I put it where the charcoal would. It is a nice product.

Yes, fill the filter with water and let it drain until all the filter media is wet. This is important in order to release all the charcoal residue out before you install it. It will take a while to work through and you will have to keep topping it off as it works down.

It goes around the outside of the small bag that is already installed in the unit. Remove the small bag/frame and slip it into the larger micro-mesh bag so that the opening forms a slot for the water to flow into. When installed properly the water will first get filtered by the small bag. Anything that's able to get through will then be filtered by the larger micro-mesh bag.

I always use an in-hose filter to keep crud out & protect all valves including hard to get to back flow prevention valves. I fill the tank & use out of there for all needs. I've found I like the level 4 filter better. It acts as a mini expansion tank as well.

You attach the filter to the heater. The connection on the heater should swing out.
