3 System 3 Filter Cleaning Tips

System 3 filters are designed for low maintenance, fine particle filtration, and cost savings. Based on normal operation, the filter element must be chemically cleaned at least once per pool season. If you don’t chemically clean your filters, the benefits that System 3 filters were intended for, may end up doing the opposite for your pool. Here are 3 easy system 3 filter cleaning tips to ensure you have low maintenance, fine particle filtration, and cost savings on pool chemicals all year long!  

Rapid Action Filter Cleanse

Dazzle’s Rapid Action Filter Cleanse is an easy, “eco-friendly”, one-step filter cleaner that removes greases, oils, algae, and metals from your filter to maximize filter efficiency.

Two is better than one

Cleaning your filters can be a lengthy process and we absolutely do not recommend running your system with no filters. This can cause many issues and will defeat the purpose of all of the things System 3 Filters were designed for in the first place and could end up costing you a great ton of money in pool chemicals to get your pool back to its usual self. What to do then? You could rent out a set of Aqua-Tech’s shop filters for a fee however we do recommend investing in a second set of filters to have on hand at all times. You can use your spare set of filters for many things: filtering out an entire winter’s load of organics in the spring time, during an algae problem, and of course, when you’re chemically cleaning your other set.

Under pressure

When rinsing the excess filter cleaner off your filters, be sure to use normal garden hose pressure. Do not use a pressure washer – it can seriously damage the pleats of your filter resulting in poor filtration. And absolutely do not take your filters to the local car wash. It may seem like an efficient idea, killing two birds with one stone, but trust us on this one and have some respect for your filters – after all, they do wonders for your pool!
