Dishwasher detergent is a dry powder, however it also can come in a liquid gel form. Traditionally it's dry powdered detergent, meant for a mechanical dishwasher (not the hand dishwashing liquid).

You can put the biodiesel bag on the return to catch what the Intex filter lets pass by. It has been reported to help, although you'll again have to clean it often.

Ask a girl. And then ask her if she'll show you how to do some dishes... just in case :~}

Hayward has a filter pump system I think it is a VI or VL series, it has a 13" sand filter instead of a cartridge system. Also dont let your cartridges go through the heat cycle in the dishwasher will ruin the plastic top and bottom.

Hey everyone,

Something we have found that works like a top, (actually my other half figured this out, hehe), you can buy knee high stockings from Wally World, (the cheap ones), and pull them down over the filter before placing it in the housing and the nylon will filter out much finer particles, and yes they can be washed and reused.

The knee highs are cheap for a box, and since you get 2 for each pair in the box of 10 pair that gives you 20 socks, lots of very fine filtering there, Smiles.

He has even doubled them for a water filter he put on the washing machine, made all the difference in the world, before the fiter he would have to pull the washer out and clean the lil screen filter on the cold water line once a week, (we have very hard water from our well).

You can also put a large rubberband around the bottom if you have any issues keeping them in place, (he has never had to do that).

Hope this helps.
