How to clean a cartridge filter

Cartridge filters require periodic cleaning to maintain performance. To clean the filter, turn off the pump, remove the filter housing lid, and take out the cartridge. Rinse the cartridge thoroughly with a hose, spraying between the pleats to remove debris.

Professional Pool Company recommends deep cleaning using a filter cleaner solution every few months to remove oils and buildup. Replace cartridges every 1–2 years depending on usage and water conditions.
