ZODIAC POOL FILTER CLEANER 500g

Description

The Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner 500g is a concentrated filter cleaning treatment designed to give your pool filtration system a deeper clean than regular rinsing or backwashing alone.

Every day, your pool filter captures dirt and contaminants from the water. Over time, body oils, sunscreen, algae residue and other stubborn build-up can become trapped within the filter, potentially affecting how effectively it operates.

Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner helps break down this accumulated contamination and clean areas of your filter that everyday maintenance can miss.

Suitable for both cartridge and media pool filters, the convenient 500g pack is an easy addition to your regular pool maintenance routine.

Why Choose Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner 500g?

A clean filter plays an important role in keeping your swimming pool water clean and clear.

While hosing a cartridge or backwashing a media filter removes everyday dirt and debris, it may not completely remove oils and other contaminants that accumulate over time.

Zodiac Filter Cleaner provides a deeper chemical clean, helping restore cleanliness to your filter media and maintain effective filtration.

Zodiac recommends periodically chemically cleaning your filter and specifically recommends Filter Cleaner following algae or metal treatments.

Give Your Cartridge Filter a Proper Deep Clean

A cartridge filter can look clean after being hosed down while still holding contaminants deep within its pleats.

Sunscreen, body oils and other residue can gradually accumulate within the cartridge and may be difficult to remove with water alone.

Using a dedicated filter cleaner allows the cartridge to soak in a cleaning solution, helping loosen contaminants trapped within the filter material.

After soaking, the cartridge can be thoroughly rinsed before being returned to the filtration system.

Suitable for Cartridge & Media Filters

The Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner 500g isn't limited to one type of filtration system.

It can be used with both cartridge filters and media filters, with the application method differing depending on your filtration system.

For cartridge filters, Zodiac recommends removing and rinsing the cartridge before soaking it in the diluted cleaning solution.

For media filters, the cleaning solution can be introduced into the filter to deep clean the media.

Always follow the directions on the Zodiac packaging for the correct application method and dosage.

Things to Know Before You Buy

Zodiac Pool Filter Cleaner is intended as a periodic deep-cleaning treatment and doesn't replace your normal filter maintenance.

Cartridge filters still need to be removed and rinsed to remove everyday dirt and debris, while media filters still require regular backwashing.

The chemical treatment is designed to complement this routine by tackling contamination that may remain behind.

For best results, Zodiac's current directions recommend allowing the cleaning solution to work for 24 hours. Always follow the directions and safety information on the product packaging before use.
