How to Install a Cartridge Pool Filter: A Guide for First-Time Pool Owners

If you're new to pool ownership, the prospect of installing a cartridge pool filter can be daunting. But fear not! With a little know-how, you can easily install this essential piece of equipment and keep your pool clean and clear all summer long. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of installing a cartridge pool filter step-by-step.

Before You Begin: Gather Your Supplies

Before you get started, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand. You'll need a cartridge pool filter, a filter pump, a pool hose, and a filter housing unit. You'll also need any necessary tools, such as a screwdriver, pliers, or a wrench.

Step One: Determine the Size of Your Filter

Cartridge pool filters come in various sizes, so before you buy one, you'll need to determine the size of your filter. This will depend on the size of your pool and the flow rate of your pump. Consult your pool's manufacturer's manual to determine the appropriate filter size for your pool.

Step Two: Assemble the Filter Housing Unit

Next, you'll need to assemble the filter housing unit. This is the container that will hold the cartridge filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that the housing is assembled correctly.

Step Three: Install the Filter Pump

Now it's time to install the filter pump. The pump should be installed near the pool and close to a power source. Connect the pool hose to the pump and attach the other end to the inlet port on the filter housing unit.

Step Four: Install the Cartridge Filter

Once the filter housing unit and pump are in place, it's time to install the cartridge filter. The filter should fit snugly inside the housing unit. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that the filter is installed correctly.

Step Five: Prime the Pump

Before you turn on the filter pump, you'll need to prime it. To do this, fill the pump with water until the water level is above the inlet port. This will prevent air from getting into the pump and causing damage.

Step Six: Turn on the Filter Pump

Now it's time to turn on the filter pump. Once the pump is running, check the pressure gauge on the filter housing unit. It should read between 8 and 10 psi. If the pressure is too high or too low, adjust the flow rate of the pump accordingly.

Step Seven: Maintain Your Pool Filter

Finally, it's important to maintain your pool filter throughout the season. Clean the filter cartridge regularly by hosing it down with a gentle spray of water. When the filter becomes excessively dirty, it's time to replace it.

Conclusion

Installing a cartridge pool filter may seem overwhelming at first, but with these simple steps, you'll be able to enjoy a clean and clear pool all summer long. Remember to refer to your manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and always take safety precautions when working with electrical equipment. Happy swimming!

Bigger is not always better when it comes to pool pumps. A pool pump that is too large can hinder filtration and can even damage a pool’s filter and/or heater. It is therefore very important to know the size of a pool before purchasing a pool pump. If there is additional equipment (such as water features) installed into the pool, it will have to be taken it into account when deciding what size pump is going to be purchased. The more equipment is installed into a pool, the more powerful the pump needs to be.
It is important to consult with a pool equipment expert, such as Poolking's Pumps, before buying a pool pump. The team at Poolking will be able to give our customers professional advice regarding the size of the pump they will need to purchase.
