Keeping the Pool Filter Clean is Keeping the Water Healthy

Swimming is a great way to unwind, relax, and socialize this summer. A pool filter is vital to the cleanliness of any swimming pool. It is responsible for removing contaminants and ensuring that the pool remains clear while being free of bacteria and other harmful health contaminants.

What's a pool filter?

The pool filter cartridge stands out among the many types of filters as a filtration system that prevents particles from contaminating the water. The heart of the system is the filter cartridge, a tall cylinder made of fibers that trap dirt. It uses replaceable filters that collect dirt and debris. On the other hand, maintaining the cartridge filter is relatively easy, as it can be removed and sprayed clean with a hose. This saves a great deal of time for people.

Pool filters are effective because they can capture particles as small as 10 microns and can effectively remove things like hair, dead bugs, and human sunscreen.

The key to ensuring water quality: cleaning pool filters on time

Pool filter cartridges should be cleaned every two to six weeks on average. Depending on usage, flow rate, quantity, and size of the cartridge, it should be deep cleaned one to three times a year. One of the most important factors affecting the effective operation of a pool filter is that the flow rate through the filter should not be too high. Too much flow will greatly reduce the life of the cartridge and decrease the efficiency of the filter. Unfortunately, debris passes through the filter and then back into the pool.

On the outside of the filter, you will find a maximum pressure reading label. Be sure your filter does not exceed this pressure. The pool filter cartridge should be cleaned if the filter pressure indicator reads 8 or more PSI or if the water quality has changed significantly.

When you clean the pool filter, try to move it gently and carefully, do not clean it violently because this will break down the filter material and reduce the life of the filter. It doesn't matter much if it's not completely white when you're done cleaning. Just make sure all large debris is removed. We recommend soaking the pool filter cartridge in a cleaning solution at least once a year to help remove some of the buildups.

Suppose there is an accident during the cleaning process and the cartridge filter is badly broken. Then do not hesitate to have it replaced straight away. Perhaps you already find that many websites sell multiple units just in case.

We recommend YUNDA pool filter cartridges

Compared with the ordinary structure of the pool filter cartridge, it uses a special material with advanced trilobal fabric. Filtration Effect > 95%, which innovated "Dirt-Locking" technology makes the fabric traps much more contaminants than regular fabric. This filter efficiently removes hair, leaves, dust, sediment, sand, etc.

The skeleton has also been upgraded to be stronger and more durable, extending its life and saving you money on your bills. Reinforced end caps are break-resistant and are highly resistant to chemicals commonly found in pool applications.
