How to identify your filter:
By Spa brand:
All BadBoy filters have a unique product code that helps you identify the size of our filters.E.g. Alpine Spas - BBF5QP02
The 4th number in every code refers to the inches in the diameter of each filter. Therefore, BBF5QP02 is a 5 inch diameter replacement filter for Alpine Spas. For further sizing info, refer to our how-to-guide in the catalogue.

By length and diameter:
All BadBoy filters have the part number printed on the end cap. E.g. ("xxxx"). The label which comes on the packaging will also include all of the cartridge details and will be useful to keep for future reference.
1. Measure the outer diameter of the filter, measuring from the left edge to the right edge. 2. Measure the inside diameter of the filter's opening or the inside edges of the thread. Refer to the last page if you would like to refer to the letter that corresponds with the end type of your filter. 3. Measure the overall length of the cartridge (do not include handles or threads). A more accurate measurement is made by measuring through the centre of the cartridge when possible.
Holes are normally 50mm, 75mm or 100mm. Threads are normally 38mm or 50mm.Fine thread (MPT) has from 6-8 fine twists, where as coarse thread (SAE) will have as little as only 3 thicker threads.

FAQ: Will another filter fit my spa?
The answer is surprisingly yes! Especially if it has a handle. A handle filter is normally always with a threaded bottom and as long as the thread is the same and the diameter of the filter is similar, a longer or shorter filter will suffice.
However, ensure that the filter does not come above the water line as this will allow air into your system.
Please note that filter measurements may vary from up to +/- 5mm.

FAQ: How do I clean my spa filter?
Filters are easy to clean when using our Crystal Water Filter Cleaner.
Simply prepare a solution by adding 500ml of the filter cleaner into 10L of warm water in a large plastic bucket. Place the filter cartridge into the cleaning solution and soak.
For heavily soiled filters, soak from 12-16 hours, and for lightly soiled filters, 6-8 hours will suffice.
