Can I only use Pleatco FilterWash on Pleatco cartridges?
FilterWash™ cleans any reusable lter cartridge regardless of make or model.

slightly speed up the cleaning action in controlled environments.
The tablet is not dissolving completely?
Pleatco FilterWash tablets are zz soluble and therefore need some time to dissolve.
You can speed this process up by stirring the water to dissolve the tablet quicker.

if left to soak for long periods of time, the cartridge will not be damaged by the solution.

it for use at a later date.
How long can I keep a tablet?
Pleatco FilterWash tablets are long lasting; as long as the seal is intact and tablet is kept

Why is the cartridge not white after cleaning?
White does not indicate clean - Pleatco Filter wash does not use bleaching agents -
Bleaching agents can damage the ltration fabric and tends to affect the color of the cartridge and do little to actually clean the media. Pleatco FilterWash releases the bio lm
that holds the dirt and oils in the media. Releasing the lm release the dirt reopening the
media. Naturally, the ltration fabric may adopt discoloration over time, however Pleatco
FilterWash’s thorough cleaning allows cartridges to return to a high level of original
performance without harming or discoloring the lter.

Can I use Pleatco Filter wash on my DE grids?
Yes. The Pleatco FilterWash POOL tablet can be used on up to 5 grids after they
have been rinsed off.
If I have 4 spa cartridges. Can I use one FilterWash Pool tablest instead of two Filter Wash
Spa tablets?
We do not recommend this. Pleatco FilterWash™ comes in individual formulas one for pools and one for spas, scientically engineered for each environment.
How often should I clean my pool cartridge?
A good rule of thumb is when the pressure on your tank rises 8 to 10 PSI above its starting pressure when the new cartridge was installed. For pools we recommend asking
your local service technician for advice or to undertake the regular maintenance for you.
How often should I clean my spa cartridge?
Most spa manufacturers recommend once a month. With heavy use 2 weeks. It is
always a good practice to clean after heavy use such as a party. Pleatco FilterWash’s
thorough cleaning allows cartridges to return to a high level of original performance
without harming the lter providing longer product life as well.
The top of my lter looks bleached and faded was this due to the FilterWash?
No. Pleatco FilterWash does not contain bleaching agents and has no affect on the end
caps. This is caused by chlorine and cyanuric acid and other chemicals added to the
pool. This can also be an indication of an old lter cartridge that needs to be replaced.
Consult your dealer or service technician as it may be time to replace the lter.
Can I safely throw out the water after using Pleatco FilterWash?
Yes, Pleatco FilterWash is environmentally friendly and the water can be safely
discarded after use.
