Well i have to ask ...before what ? You say that you never had to clean them so often before. Before what ? What are you doing different now?
What chems are you using -and how often are you using the spa? also who else uses the spa?marc

Well i use chlorine and brite and clear. I have a new ozone unit. My daughter has moved back in so we do have one more user.

I see a couple of potential issues.
One is the Bright and Clear, use it sparingly - you have an ozonator -let it do the work. If you use to much B&C it can gum up your filter also if you have more users than usual and if they have make-up , or sun tan lotions, or get their hair wet by dunking their head in the spa water. These oily products wind up in your water -and if your using Bright and Clear daily -this will coagulate the small particles in the filter before the ozone has a chance to oxidize it out.
Second issue is the added bather -- yes we use that term for a reason. Just one new person can totally change your spas water make up, and if that one person has a friend over it gets even worse.You should lay down some rules -- 1 - quick rinse before you get into the spa-- its not a bath tub so dont use it like it is.
2-- No lotions or make up in the spa --PERIOD--
3--after each use -have the daughter toss in a table spoon of chlorine powder. Since you dont know how often she is really using the spa -put that responsibility on her--that way you can maintain based on your use.try this out and see if it gets better.
