- Non-Backwashable: This is a cartridge filter; attempting to backwash the system will likely rupture the polyester fibers.
Pro Tips
- Cleaning Threshold: Clean the cartridge when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI above the "clean" starting pressure.
- Deep Cleaning: Use a specialized [filter cleaning solution](https://www.amazon.com) seasonally to remove accumulated body oils and mineral scale.
- Structural Integrity: The [reinforced PVC core](https://www.wildwestpoolsupplies.com) is designed to prevent pleat collapse under high flow conditions.
- Maintenance Cycle: Typical replacement is every 1-2 seasons, though heavy bather loads or high algae environments may require more frequent replacement.
