Take a look at our new cartridge filter cleaner, the Water-Wand. The product works off a standard garden hose and features eight pleat-separating fingers with high pressure fan nozzles. Saves water! Reduces water wastage by 50%!

Pool filter cartridges should be taken out of the housing every 2 - 3 weeks and hosed down.

DO NOT use a high pressure hose or scrub with a brush.

Over a period of time the cartridge will gradually block up and will need replacing. In a pool with high usage this can be within a year but normally between 18 months and 2 years.

A blocked cartridge can put undue pressure on your pump and motor and decrease the life of these parts.

All the replacement cartridges are after market replacements that suit the above brand filters.
