When apool filter clean-upis being performed, the pool pump should be turned off, and if the filter is located below the water level, the valves should be turned off so that the pool will not drain when it is removed.
You must also carefully take in where the filter is and the direction in which it is oriented so that you will know how to put it back in.
The cleaning process for your particular pool filter depends to a large extend to the category (discussed above) to which it belongs.
A sand or diatomaceous earth filter should be cleaned only with a full pool, and the pump should be on backwash to clear out any debris.
A simple pool filter clean-up will do for sand and diatomaceous filters, but the cartridges that comprise those of the third major type need to be replaced periodically, although regular cleaning will reduce the frequency with which that is done.
If even after you clean the cartridge, the flow of water is not as much as it should be, then you definitely need to replace it.
The same holds if the pleats of the cartridge are flattened or damaged, the fabric is fraying or the end caps are cracked.
At Master Touch Pools, we have replacements for any filter that you need replaced. If we don’t have your particular brand on hand, we can order one for you.
