It is very essential that pool filter users buy pleated fiberglass mat or a synthetic filter media and not simply paper as its cartridge. The reason is that coagulated cartridges of cheap filtering mediums can break down and hence the filter can be rendered useless. The operation of such pool accessories has to be carried out in a normal way. The moment it gets coagulated with debris, it needs to be removed from the filter interiors and washed following certain procedures.
First the cartridge needs to be washed properly with the help of a garden hose. Then it needs to be dried in bright sunshine. The process is the same for a Hayward Filter Cartridge, a Jacuzzi pool filter or similar brands like Harmsco. Having completed the first step of rinsing with water, the filtering medium is then immersed in muriatic acid solution to get rid of sticky substances that is hard to remove. The filtering medium is then once again dried in sun and then rinsed with water. This clears out all remaining dirt and makes the medium eligible to be refitted in the pool filter.
The cartridge medium comprises of tiny holes and acid cleaning ensures that the pores are emptied of coagulated impurities so that the medium functions with the same level of performance when newly installed. There is no need to buy new replacement filters if the cartridges are regularly cleaned. This necessitates all pool users to keep a tab on their cartridges and clean them whenever they get clogged.
