How do You Clean a Pool Filter Cartridge?

Owning a pool comes with some responsibilities; one such responsibility is maintaining the pool. A pool filter cartridge is one of the essential parts that require regular maintenance to keep the pool clean and healthy to swim in. Pool filter cartridges trap dirt, debris, and other impurities that make their way into the pool. Over time, the cartridge will become clogged, reducing its ability to filter water effectively. To keep your filter cartridge working correctly, you'll need to clean it regularly. This article will show you how to clean a pool filter cartridge in five easy steps.

Step One: Turn off the Pump and Remove the Cartridge

The first step when cleaning a pool filter cartridge is to turn off the pump. Turning off the pump ensures that no water is flowing through the filter, which makes it safe to remove the cartridge. Once the pump is off, you should remove the cartridge from the filter housing. Most filter systems have a locking mechanism that secures the cartridge in place. Loosen the locking mechanism, and carefully remove the cartridge from the housing.

Step Two: Rinse the Cartridge

With the cartridge out of the housing, use a garden hose to rinse it off. The goal is to remove any loose debris and dirt that's accumulated on the cartridge. Rinse the cartridge from top to bottom, making sure to get between the pleats. A strong jet of water can help dislodge any debris stuck in the pleats.

Step Three: Fill Up a Cleaning Bucket with Filter Cleaner

After rinsing the cartridge, it's time to get it truly clean with filter cleaner. In a large cleaning bucket, mix filter cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour the cleaning solution into the bucket and then fill it with water. Ensure there's enough cleaning solution in the water to create a sudsy mixture.

Step Four: Soak the Cartridge

Place the cartridge in the cleaning bucket, making sure it's fully submerged in the cleaning solution. Allow the cartridge to soak for a few hours, or overnight if necessary. The cleaning solution will work to dissolve and loosen any dirt or oils stuck on the cartridge.

Step Five: Rinse and Reassemble

Once the cartridge has finished soaking, it's time to rinse it off. Use a garden hose to rinse the cartridge thoroughly, removing any remaining cleaning solution. You want to ensure that every inch of the cartridge is free of any cleaning solution before reinstalling. After rinsing, place the cartridge back into the filter housing and secure it with the locking mechanism. Ensure there are no leaks.

In conclusion, cleaning a pool filter cartridge is no rocket science. With just five easy steps, you can have your pool filter cartridge working perfectly. It's advisable to clean your pool filter cartridge every three months. However, if you use your pool frequently or have a lot of debris entering your pool, you may need to clean it more often than that. Make sure to keep up with regular maintenance to keep your pool water clean and healthy to swim in.
