This is my first post, but I love the forum and have gotten so much info! Hoping someone can help with my situation.
I need suggestions on how/if to clean my cartridge filters. They are only 3 months old and I'd prefer to save them if possible. About a month ago I needed to clean them due to a build up of cotton wood fluff in the pool going through skimmer to filter. I hosed them off and cleaned them in muratic acid/water bath. I stored them in a large cardboard box until I needed them today (had back up filters to use in the mean time). Unfortunately, I must have put them away damp because they were moldy when I got them out. I hosed off the fuzzy mold, but still see lots of black spots in the cartridges. I'm afraid of introducing mold into my pool! Is there a way to save these filters? filter cleaner? bleach bath? thank for help!
