If uninterrupted fun in your pool is a must, then Pleatco Pool and Spa Filter replacements should be your go-to for a clean and clear experience this season! These filters are meticulously designed with fiber strands, providing increased flow and dirt-capturing capabilities.

Why do you need to change your Pleatco pool and spa filter?

Neglecting pool filter maintenance is never a good decision as your filter can clog and develop pressure problems. In addition, worn filter material will allow debris back into your pool that will cause the pump to malfunction or recycle the contaminants. This creates a haven for harmful bacteria, making your pool unsafe for your friends and family. To ensure a safe swimming environment for all, change your Pleatco pool filter!

What kind of contaminants are in my pool, hot tub, and/or spa?

Bodily fluids such as sweat, skin/dirt, and excrement are dangerous contaminants that can remain in your swimming pool after use, so it is important to keep this in mind before using your pool again. If your pool is outdoors, then you will need to worry about bird droppings, algae, dirt, leaves, and grime. In addition to this, you should be aware of bacteria and parasites.

The most common germs found in pools are E. coli, norovirus, and cryptosporidium. These pollutants cause diarrhea, and the whole pool can be affected if an infected person with this illness enters your water.

How do I know when it is time to clean my Pleatco pool filter?

Subtle signals to look for when determining if it is time to clean your Pleatco pool filter are if your backwashing cycles are short, or your pressure has a significant increase. Visible overt signs are your water having a green tint, your water being oily, or your water having excess dirt and debris present. It is recommended that you clean your cartridge filter every 6 months for maximum operating efficiency. If you need to replace your filter, we have you covered!

How do I know when it is time to clean the Pleatco filter in my hot tub or spa?

The most obvious sign that it is time to clean your Pleatco filter is the water  clarity. If your spa filters are not operating correctly, then any cleaning agents used will not be effective. If you see that the water is noticeably cloudy, it is probably time to check on your filter and see if it needs to be replaced.

It is recommended that you clean your filter regularly, around twice a week depending on how often you use your hot tub. These filters will need to be replaced every 2 years.
