When should the Cartridge be Replaced?
It's easier to replace
cartridge media than it is to clean it. In
replacing the media you're getting rid of any biofilm that could inhabit that
filter. Also, people moving into new homes with a pool, they like that. They
want to replace the filter so they're not swimming in anyone else's biofilm or
filtered waste."
The best time to
replace a cartridge is when the pressure gauge is high or on a regular basis
just to be proactive, but over time any cartridge filter media will develop a
hole or tear in the fabric or become hopelessly clogged, forcing replacement.
One of the most common
causes of early filter death is clogging due to embedded pool gunk, which tends
to be forced deep into the fabric of cartridge filters where it can't be rinsed
away. It gets to the point that there's
so much blockage that the filters lose their ability to pass water and trap
debris. If the pressure gauge remains high after cleaning a cartridge, it most
likely means the fabric has become clogged and the cartridge needs to be
replaced.
