The Importance of Good Pool Filtration

Pool filter cartridges play a central role in maintaining your pool's water. They ensure:

  • Water purity: by eliminating impurities and contaminants, they guarantee clear and healthy water.
  • Equipment protection: by preventing debris from circulating in the system, they extend the life of your pump and other installations.
  • Simplified maintenance: effective filtration reduces the effort required to clean and maintain the pool.

  2. Draining: open the air bleed and drain to empty the water from the filter.
  3. Opening: unscrew the top handle and remove the cover.
  4. Cleaning/replacement: remove the cartridge. Clean it with a water jet or replace it if it shows signs of wear.
  5. Reassembly: clean the bottom of the tank, insert the cartridge straight, and close it, checking the seal's tightness.
