I always hear “every so often” or “regularly” to clean the cartridge filters but never a real time frame? Once a month? Once a week? 3 months? I know it’s best to keep an eye on the pressure gauge but just looking for some clarification
It’s purely as needed. This is defined by the pressure gauge. If it reads 7+ psi above the starting pressure then it’s time to take it out and clean it. If it is a single cartridge filter, usually it will be about every 2 - 4 weeks before it needs cleaning. If it has 4 cartridges in the filter, usually this will be done quarterly throughout the year. Again, this just depends on the amount of debris the filter has built up. A quad cartridge filter could even go 6 months without cleaning, depending on the debris load.
Thank you for simplifying it. It can be intimidating at times.
