A Marvelous Pool Experience with Quality Pool Filter Cartridges

For an enjoyable and refreshing pool experience, it is important to keep your pool squeaky clean and for basic maintenance and cleansing you can use manual cleaners and sweepers which can be used daily. Though the first and foremost step should always be balancing of pH scale in water which can be easily achieved by using chemicals such as Sodium Bicarbonate. It should be ensured that pH scale of the water is at 7 as acidic as well as alkaline content in water can be harmful to eyes, skin and may even hamper bodily functions. 

Water which appears to be crystal clear may also have minute impurities such as bacteria, oils and harmful chemicals. It is very important to get rid of phosphate in water as it causes weed and algae to grow rapidly, for that one should chemicals such as SeaKlear Phosphate Remover CR which provides optimum hygiene. If one notices a sudden increase in the filter pressure then it is indicative of blooming algae – algae should always be immediately cleansed using chemicals such as chlorine or one can also use effective algaecides which are easily available in the market. 

To ensure impeccable hygiene, one should also choose an appropriate filter in accordance with requirements and size of the pool. It is always advisable to go for swimming pool filter cartridges as these types of filters can be easily installed and maintained, unlike the Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) filters. These filters also provide effective and efficient cleaning which sand filters fail to provide as they allow minute particles of impurities to pass through. 

These pool filter cartridges also need to be maintained and cleaned adequately especially if one notices a sudden decrease in the filter pressure. This decrease in filter pressure is caused by clogging in the filter and to get rid of clogging one needs to rinse the filter thoroughly with a garden hose. This practice is known as backwashing and should be carried out after every 2 weeks. It should also be kept in mind that only slight pressure should be applied while backwashing a cartridge as too much pressure will cause the dirt to settle inside the cartridge permanently.  To cleanse the cartridge properly, one can soak it in non-foaming solutions and scrub it lightly with a brush, these solutions are available in various stores and it is important to note that these can’t be replaced by washing detergents.
