Some helpful information
My lter is heavily covered with dirt and stuff; do I need to rinse it rst before treatment?
Yes always rinse off the debris with a hose rst and then carry out the cleaning process according to instructions above.
Can I only use Pleatco FilterWash on Pleatco cartridges?
FilterWash™ cleans any reusable lter cartridge regardless of make or model.
Should I use cold or hot water?
Pleatco FilterWash is optimized to work at tap water temperature. Warm water can
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.
Can I soak overnight?
For best ( maximum) results soak for 25-30 minutes. However, although not required,
if left to soak for long periods of time, the cartridge will not be damaged by the solution.
How long can I keep the solution once the tab is dissolved?
Once the Pleatco FilterWash tablet is activated IN WATER a cartridge should be placed in the solution within 20 minutes. After cleaning the water can be safely discarded.
Can I clean one cartridge and save the solution until I need to clean it again?
No. Once you have used the Pleatco FilterWash tablet solution you should not save
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 dry there is no expiration date.
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 the pool Filter Wash to clean spa cartridges?
Not recommended, Pleatco Filter Wash is scientically engineered for each environ­ment for maximum performance. However using Pleatco FilterWash POOL tablets will not damage a spa cartridge and vice versa.

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, scientically 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.
