They key to eliminating hassles, time-sucks and big repair bills…and to maintaining optimal pool fun is to keep up on your swimming pool maintenance. One of those easy, cost-effective upkeep items is cartridge filter element maintenance.

When water passes through a cartridge filter, the element – located at its surface – traps particles and screens out dirt. Properly functioning cartridge filter elements increase the overall flow within your swimming pool – a must for any pool. Cartridge filter elements also ensure that your pool pump runs efficiently and, subsequently, helps prevent overuse of chemicals. It’s a win-win-win for you and anyone who might happen to enjoy your pool.

To help extend the life of your cartridge filter element, cleaning should take place approximately every other week. When you reach 12 to 16 months, it’s time to replace your cartridge filter element. Replacement costs range from $70 to $120…not too bad to help keep your swimming pool in tip-top shape.
