Warnings and Disclaimers
- Pressure Hazard: Always turn off the pool pump and bleed all air from the system before opening the filter housing to prevent injury.
- Compatibility Check: Verify dimensions and hole diameters (4") before ordering to ensure fit for your specific filter canister.
- Chemical Handling: Do not add pool chemicals (like chlorine tablets) directly into the filter canister; this will degrade the filter media and end caps.
- Warranty: Use of aftermarket cartridges like Filbur typically does not void equipment warranties, but refer to your system manufacturer's specific terms.
Pro Tips
- Regular Maintenance: Clean the cartridge when the pressure gauge on the tank reaches 8–10 PSI above the starting "clean" pressure.
- Cleaning Method: Rinse with a garden hose first. For deep cleaning, soak in a [Filter Cleaner Solution](https://www.amazon.com) overnight, rinse again, and let dry before reinstalling.
- Alternate Seasonally: Keep a second cartridge on hand. Swapping them allows one to be thoroughly cleaned and dried (which helps the fibers tighten) while the other keeps the pool running.
- Antimicrobial Advantage: Antimicrobial end caps specifically help inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold within the filter pleats.
