Cartridge Filter Maintenance
A cartridge filter is generally the simplest to maintain, because it involves a form of filter media that is easy to clean and/or replace.
Cleaning Instructions
Cartridge filters should be cleaned when the pressure rises to 5-8 lbs above normal. In the case of large capacity filters (over 300
square feet) this may only require cleaning on an annual or semi-annual basis.
The cleaning process is as follows:
Disassemble the filter and remove the cartridges and clean with a normal garden hose nozzle. DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER OR YOU MAY
DAMAGE THE FILTER FABRIC. If the cartridges are embedded with oils or dirt, it might be necessary to use a special filter cleaner for this. If the filter
cleaner does not help, then the cartridges will need to be replaced.
