  1. The use of chemicals such as clarifiers, defoamers, and cleansers may reduce the life of a disposable micro-pore filter. Anecdotal evidence from users suggests that some water types (well water, perhaps?) may be better suited to pleated filters. Thanks for that response Tom. In fact we do live in a small village and all though our water is treated it is as close to well water as you can get.
  2. Hmmm... I've never used the disposable ones, but mine last about 5 years. Yes they are very expensive but I think it weighs out if the disposable only last 2 months??? How long to the original Arctic filters last? 3 or 4 friends who have hot tubs buy 2 filters and rotate them every three weeks, depending on use, and they seem to be pretty happy. I just expected the disposable to last a lot longer as the dealer indicated.
  3. Just bought an Arctic Spa Cub. Came with a regular filter but it needed replacing. The dealership said the way to go was with a disposable filter. It would last up to six months, etc. We're doing all the right things with the water (chlorine) but we've gone through two filters in two months. A friend who switched from regular filters to disposable had the same experience and has since gone back. Is the whole disposable filter thing a money grab or is there something I'm just not getting?
