How Do Pool Cartridge Filters Work?
Pool filter cartridges work as part of a larger pool
pool filter system. The job of a cartridge filter is to strip unwanted particles, oils and debris from your pool water. Keeping your pool cartridge filter clean not only helps keep your pool water clean, but helps keep the cartridge filter working efficiently for years.
When & How to Clean Your Pool Cartridge
Pool filter cartridges should be cleaned on average, every six months, or when your filter pressure gauge has increased about 8 to 12 PSI above the recommended starting pressure of your pool filter.
To clean your pool cartridge filter, you’ll want to first turn off the filtration system and remove your pool cartridge filter. Remove any large dirt or debris, then clean the pool cartridge filter with the necessary
filter cleaning accessories, checking for tears, cracks or damage each time.
After you’ve successfully cleaned your pool cartridge filter, allow it to fully dry before inserting it back into the filter tank. If waiting for your filter to dry isn’t an option, consider keeping a pool cartridge filter replacement on hand, this way you’ll always have a clean, dry cartridge to use right away.
When to Replace Your Pool Cartridge Filter
On average,
your pool cartridge filter should last you 3-5 years, depending on the demand
placed on it. A damaged filter can affect the overall performance of your
filter and subsequently how clean your pool is. Here are some telltale signs
that it may be time to replace your pool cartridge filter.
If your pool cartridge filter is worn or damaged (broken end caps, fraying pleats, or degrading
material) we recommend replacing it. If the cartridge has stains that do
not come out with cleaning, it means your filter is saturated with oils and
should be replaced.
