Sundance Spa Microclean Filter

The Microclean system uses a two-part approach to ensure comprehensive cleaning. The pleated cartridge captures larger physical debris, while the secondary absorption filter is specifically designed to trap smaller impurities and oils that standard filters often miss, resulting in clearer, cleaner water.

Yes, replacing both components simultaneously is recommended. Using an old, clogged filter alongside a new one can restrict water flow, put unnecessary strain on your spa's pump, and compromise the overall filtration efficiency.

This set is designed specifically for Sundance spas that utilize the Microclean filtration system. You should check your spa's manual or look for the part numbers 6540-501 and 6540-502 on your existing filters to confirm they match.

While the exact frequency depends on your spa usage and water chemistry, a general rule of thumb is to replace the pleated cartridge every 3 to 6 months and the absorption filter every 3 months. Regular inspection is key; if you notice reduced water flow or visible discoloration that doesn't rinse away, it is time for a replacement.

The pleated cartridge can be rinsed periodically to extend its life, but the absorption filter is designed to be disposable and should not be cleaned. Once the absorption media is saturated with oils and impurities, it loses its effectiveness and must be replaced to maintain water quality.
