How to Clean Pool Filter Cartridges
A lot of us have cartridge type pool filters. And when it comes time to service them, we just replace them. That is the easiest thing to do. Many of us only have to replace them just once a year. If you want to reduce your waste or save money you can clean them.
Most quality pool filter cartridges will have synthetic fiber or pleated fiberglass matt, not paper. If you have a paper cartridge, these cleaning procedures not work and will rip down the media rendering it useless.
