how to change a cartridge pool filter

Author: Poolking - Swimming Pool Equipment Manufacturer

When it comes to maintaining a swimming pool, regularly changing the cartridge filter is an essential part of keeping the water clean and clear. Over time, the filter can become clogged with debris and bugs, compromising the filtration system's efficiency. Proper maintenance involves changing the cartridge filter at least once a year or as needed. Below, we'll go over the critical steps you need to take to change a cartridge pool filter.

Step 1: Safety First

Before beginning any pool maintenance tasks, safety should always come first. Please turn off the pool pump and filter system before attempting to remove or replace the cartridge filter. Additionally, please make sure to follow all manufacturer recommendations for handling and disposal of old cartridges.

Step 2: Identify Your Filter Type

Cartridge pool filters come in different sizes and shapes, depending on your pool's size and type. Knowing the type of filter that fits your pool is a critical step towards changing the filter. Some of the most common filter types include the Sta-Rite System 3 Filter, Hayward Super Star-Clear Filter, Hayward Swim Pro Cartridge, Pentair Clean and Clear Plus, and Pentair Quad DE Filter.

Step 3: Access the filter and remove the cartridge

Once you've determined the filter type, you'll need to access the filter by opening the filter's lid or cover. Locate the filter cartridge that needs replacing, and then unscrew the attachments that hold the filter cartridge in place. Carefully remove the filter cartridge, being sure not to damage any parts of the filter system.

Step 4: Clean the Housing Area

Before installing the new cartridge filter, clean the housing area and ensure that there are no remaining debris or dirt. You can do this by using a soft brush and clean water.

Step 5: Install a new filter cartridge

Now that you've removed the old filter cartridge, it's time to install the new cartridge filter into the housing area. Insert the new cartridge filter into the filter housing area and align its position accordingly.

Step 6: Reassemble the filter and turn on the water pump.

Once the new filter cartridge is installed and positioned, it's time to reassemble the filter system. Reattach the filter's lid or cover, secure the attachments in place, and then turn ON the water pump. Take note of the manufacturer's instruction on filling the filter housing area with water, and then check if there are any leaks.

In conclusion, changing your cartridge pool filter is something you can do on your own, especially if you have some experience in pool maintenance. Proper care and replacement can extend the life of the filter and prevent any pool water issues. By following these six critical steps, you'll be able to change the cartridge pool filter with ease and maintain a clean and sparkling pool.
