| Pool filters accumulate huge grime, dirt and impurities in the process of purifying water used in ponds. So, it is very mandatory that the cartridges are properly cleaned to keep the filter in a good working condition. The cleaning is made easy in Hayward filters and pool accessories of similar grade. Flushing with water and rinsing with muriatic acids are sufficient to operationalize the cleaning process.
But the question is how often should one wash the filter? It depends on factors like how many people are using the pool, the size of the filter and when it’s been last cleaned. With the increase in usage of the pool, the filter requires more cleaning as they keep on piling wastes on their cartridge surface. It is good to monitor the filter cartridge on regular intervals and check for rise in pressure that indicates clogging. Keeping the filters clean ensures a healthy and vibrant pool.
Cleaning can be carried out once in a week. The process has been simplified as pool-users just need to shut off the pump and filtering system, pull out filters from pond and get their filtering medium washed. The cartridges of the new filters are made of polyester filaments that are capable of resisting the flow of dirt and impurities. Here, very tiny sized even 5 micron particles get deposited. The Swimming pool filter cartridge can be cleaned by rinsing in water, followed by immersing in muriatic acids and solutions of chlorine. When all the impurities are released from its surface, just dry it in bright sunlight.
Replacing the filtering medium with a new cartridge is also a good option for pool users. So, whenever, it is confirmed that the filter is clogged and needs cleaning, pool users can simply get its clogged cartridge replaced with a new one. This saves them from the pain associated with cleaning. |
