I recently cleaned my filter. Whenever I vacuum the pool, by the next day, dirt appears in the same place, near where the water comes in when the pump is on. Is it possible that there is dirt that's too fine for the filter to keep and it comes back into the pool? If so, is there a solution?
I am on the east coast and I had the same problem. That's why I now have three cartridges. One for first opening and deep cleaning the water, then using the second after good cleaning. The third one goes in one month before closing. Solved my problem. You see, the filter can only stop so much filth, then it goes into he pool. I also use the aqua comb gently each time.
How OCD should I get when cleaning? I keep flipping it over and over and dirt keeps coming out. I ended up spending like 2 hours cleaning the cartridges and felt exhausted. I miss my sand filter...
It varies from model to model. But you should first stop the pump and close the valves that go to the filter, then open the air nozzle at the top of the filter housing to let air in. At the bottom of the filter housing, there should be a drain port to drain the water. I empty two 5-gallon buckets before the housing is halfway empty. I can now unscrew half of the housing and pull the cartridge out.
Leslie's installed a brand new filter and 4 cartridges for my pool back in November, is it time to clean the cartridges? We have been running the pump nightly for 4 hours up until early March and bumped it up to 8 hours in mid March.
Cartridges should be cleaned when the pressure gauge indicates; when it rises 7-9 psi over the clean, starting pressure, or when flow rate is significantly reduced.
@@duneme If you adjust water pressure to about the same as a garden hose would be, no problem. Not rocket science here, just use common sense and don't spray water directly into the filter cartridge, spray at a downward angle. There's many other youtube videos to check out if not sure.
Earlier this year (seemingly about the time I started using Pool Perfect weekly), my filter pressure started going up w/in a week or 2 after cleaning. I bought a new cartridge, and w/in a short time, it began doing the same thing. Could the problem be w/the pump or something else? I bought the house/pool 2 years ago, and the previous owner left an old cartridge cleaner that actually has 2-3" long teeth like a comb that attaches to the hose & helps get the water deeper into the folds. Could that be damaging the cartridge?
Perfect weekly has a mild “no phos” inside(which can raise filter pressure), usually not a problem with most filters. Perfect weekly Is still recommend but maybe lower the initial dosage or just skip all together if you still notice pressure problems. Hope this helps
Yes, same happened to my filter with a similar product. After changing filters due to 'clogged' filaments I'm now saving up for a sand filter. Good luck.
how would i get dead algae off the pool with my cartridge pump because when i attempt to vacuum it it goes straight through my vacuum and the water gets cloudy again
We need to see a dirty filter before and after 🌈👍
Why not actually clean one on video?
Went from DE to Cartridge..thank you for the tips !
Is the gauge still reliable if I'm using a VSF pump set to a fixed flow rate?

try the vaccum attachment if ya got one.

I just cleaned mine today, took 2.5 hrs to do it right
Gauge?Did not show it...there is not one on my pool pump.
New pool owner….You don’t show how to open the filter to get the filter out.

What is the Max Pressure a filter will take?
Can I use a 500 psi Pressure Washer (the DEWALT battery one/ on Low pressure?)
Never use a preassure washer. It will damage the filter.
@@annagalati34 even at lower pressures?

is it a garden house if you have no garden?
What is the normal operating pressure of a chlorine cartridge filter ?
how can i find/cross reference a replacement filter for Black Diamond AC BDPK 180? i tried by measurement but no luck? please help

I learned absolutely nothing from this clown. He did nothing and showed me nothing.
He did try to sell you some products in the end though...
uhhh use a dirty cartridge
how would i get dead algae off the pool with my cartridge pump because when i attempt to vacuum it it goes straight through my vacuum and the water gets cloudy again
Try adding cellulose fiber to the cartridge to improve filtration. Follow directions on the bag to know how much to add
