Cleaning Your Filter

Taking care of my customers pools, we schedule there filters to be cleaned twice a year. The filter clean in September is to get the pool ready for winter, we also inspect all the equipment,i.e freeze gaurds etc, the other time we schedule the filters to be cleaned is around March ,this is to get the pools ready for the summer. We also check the stablizer levals,salt, etc. The key I have found to getting the filters good and clean is to first rince off any large debre , then to put the grids if it is a d.e filter or the cartridges in a solution of water and degreaser. I have found that unless you remove the oils off the filters you will not get to the dirt under . Let the grids or cartridges soak in the trash can full of water and degreasier until you see the oils comming off , atleast 20 mins. then take them out and give them a good rince. Male sure to inspect them for any tears or holes , if you find any replace that grid or cartridge. reasemble the grids or cartridges back in the filter, makeing sure to add the manufactures recomended amount of d.e back after the systen is started back up ,if it is a d.e filter system. I hope this has been helpfull ,this is just my opinion of what you should do.
