Cartridge cleaning

[Perpetual summer]

Just had pool closed for winter. Pool guy said to soak cartridges in soapy water and muratic acid for a day to get the oils and other body products off. Anybody ever hear of the muratic acid cleaning? How much to use? Use with soap? Will the diluted acid cause damage?

We recommend something different - see Re: How to clean a cartridge filter

Do NOT soak in acid until after de greasing. Read the link above. ONLY use acid if you have visible calcium carbonate on the cartridges. If you are following TFPC, you should not have that.

Thanks Marty, that info helps. I follow TFP to the letter. I’ll use dish soap. Thanks

Automatic Dishwasher Detergent -right? Nothing that will create suds.
