I have a sand filter, so not my area of expertise, but could you cartridge need replacement / cleaning? My thought process is, once that small particulate matter fills up every inch of the filter there's no more trapping it so its right back into the pool. My guess would be you would have to...

I'm just looking for ideas on bulk chlorine orders. Wondering if anyone's done it. Not trying to dilute or anything. I go 12.5% straight into pool per what I've read on these forums.

What type of filter? Sure its not sand?
