This is a Guide on Pool Filter Cleaning to help maintain your pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a swimming pool, the filtration system aims to maintain crystalline and healthy water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It rids the water of its impurities and guarantees a pleasant and safe swimming pool while contributing to the excellent maintenance of the basin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are different types of filters, and each one should be maintained according to specific instructions provided by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does a pool filter system work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pool water filtration system is an element that plays a fundamental role in keeping the pool water clean and in proper functioning order since the quality of the water depends on its effectiveness. It can be located:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 directly at the edge of the pool
\u2022 in a specifically dedicated technical room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is mainly composed of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Prefilter (or a “skimmer”, a basket that retains the most significant impurities)
\u2022 Filtration pump that sucks water
\u2022 Filter that retains dirt (leaves, insects, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The filters work naturally for as long as they are correctly maintained. They must therefore be properly and regularly cleaned to maintain their effectiveness.
Before cleaning the filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before cleaning the filter system, you must ensure the cleanliness of the prefilter and skimmers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As they are in the first line in the filtration chain, they retain the highest importance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, prefilters or skimmers must be cleaned every week by being disassembled and passed carefully with water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The filtration system must be stopped during this operation so that the significant elements usually retained cannot go further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the skimmer is equipped with a filter pocket, a sock, or a cartridge, these must also be cleaned once a week with water.
Cleaning the filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pool filters are very effective since they retain even the finest dirt particles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a manometer that indicates the degree of fouling of the filter by controlling its internal pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the pressure increases by 0.3 bar or is high (in the red zone or above 1 to 1.5 bar, depending on the models), the filter must be cleaned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is, therefore, no recommended frequency: cleaning is based on the control mode of the manometer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To clean a pool filter for a swimming pool, you need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pool filter cleaning is not an easy task, but it can be done with time and patience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pool filters are invaluable for many of the built-in features they have for removing fine particles from swimming pools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The multi-channel valve connected to the filter also has a “counter-wash” position (sometimes called “washing” or “backwash”), which discharges the water in the opposite direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows the filter to eliminate more impurities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
