ZODIAC POOL FILTER CLEANER 1KG

Description

The Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner 1kg is a powerful filter cleaning treatment designed to remove built-up contaminants from your pool filtration system and help keep it working efficiently.

Over time, pool filters can collect much more than just leaves and visible dirt. Body oils, sunscreen, algae residue and other contaminants can build up within the filter and aren't always completely removed through normal rinsing or backwashing.

Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner provides a deeper chemical clean, helping remove stubborn build-up from the areas of your filter that regular cleaning can miss.

It's suitable for use with cartridge and media pool filters, making it a useful part of regular pool maintenance. Zodiac recommends a chemical filter clean every six months to help improve filter-media life and filtration efficiency.

Why Use Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner?

Your pool filter is constantly collecting contaminants as water passes through it.

Although rinsing a cartridge or backwashing a media filter removes a lot of everyday debris, some contaminants can remain trapped within the filter.

A periodic chemical clean gives your filtration system a more thorough clean and can help remove residue that ordinary maintenance leaves behind.

It's particularly useful after periods of heavy pool use or following algae and metal treatments.

More Than Just a Quick Hose Down

Hosing your cartridge is an important part of regular pool maintenance, but it doesn't necessarily remove everything that accumulates within the filter.

Sunscreen, body oils and other residue can become embedded within cartridge pleats over time.

Zodiac specifically recommends a deep clean with a pool filter cleaner when residual stains, grease or calcium build-up remain after hosing.

This is where a chemical filter cleaner can make a difference.

It penetrates areas that are difficult to clean mechanically and provides a much more thorough clean than simply spraying the cartridge with water.

Things to Know Before You Buy

Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner is designed as a deep-cleaning treatment, rather than a replacement for your regular filter maintenance.

Cartridge filters should still be removed and rinsed periodically, while media filters still require their normal backwashing routine.

The chemical cleaner is used periodically to target deeper contamination that these regular cleaning methods may leave behind.

Always follow the dosage, application and safety instructions provided on the packaging of the product you receive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner do?

It provides a deeper chemical clean of your pool filter, helping remove contaminants and residue that normal rinsing or backwashing may leave behind.

Can I use Zodiac Filter Cleaner on a cartridge filter?

Yes. Zodiac's Filter Cleaner is suitable for cartridge filters. The cartridge is soaked in a diluted cleaning solution before being thoroughly rinsed.

Can I use it in a sand or media filter?

Yes. Zodiac's current Filter Cleaner instructions also provide an application method for media filters.

How often should I use pool filter cleaner?

Zodiac recommends a chemical filter clean every six months to help improve filter-media life and efficiency. Your individual pool may require more frequent maintenance depending on usage and conditions.

Do I still need to hose my cartridge filter?

Yes. Filter Cleaner doesn't replace normal maintenance. Your cartridge should still be periodically removed and rinsed to remove everyday debris.

Does it remove sunscreen and body oils?

A deep filter clean can help remove sunscreen, oils and other stubborn residue that can remain after normal rinsing. Zodiac specifically identifies sunscreen and other residue as contaminants that filter-cleaning products are designed to strip from filter elements.

Should I clean my filter after treating algae?

It's a good idea. Zodiac specifically recommends using Filter Cleaner following algae or metal treatments to help prevent contaminants from being reintroduced into the pool.

How long should I soak my cartridge?

Zodiac's current Filter Cleaner instructions recommend soaking for 24 hours for best results. Because your MOPS product is labelled as a different pack size from Zodiac's current online listing, follow the directions on your actual 1kg container for the correct dilution rate.
