Prolonging the Life of Your Pool Filter Cartridge Part 2 of 3

Tip 4
Never use a power washer to clean the filter element as it could easily puncture or damage the media (material) of the element.  Good for me - BAD for you!  This includes using the washer at the car wash...NEVER!

Tip5
Never use bleach or acids to clean the filter element as this will weaken the fibers in the filer cartridge and decrease the lifespan.  Actually, if you didn't wash off the chemicals completely then it could mess up your chemical balance of the pool as well.  If you feel like you really want to use Muriatic acid then mix 1 part acid into a bucket with 20 parts water. Always add the acid to the water not the water to the acid. Again, completely rinse the cartridge prior to replacing in the pool filter.

Tip 6
Maintain proper water chemistry in the pool water.  Improper balance can deteriorate the element  more quickly.
