I have 4 giant cartridges in my CCP520 filter, so cleaning them is some amount of work. Since I've been using hair nets in my 2 skimmer baskets, I decided to try the experiment of cleaning my filter cartridges once a year instead of every 6 months.
It's only been 11.5 months, but the weather is nice today so I decided to go ahead and do it.
I was impressed how little there was to clean off the filter cartridges. No debris of any size. No bugs, no leaf fragments. Almost no debris sitting at the bottom of the filter cannister. All that stuff got caught upstream. There was just a fine gray powdery coating on the cartridges, which washed off easily with my Aqua Comb.
I vote for hair nets in the skimmer baskets. I'm Rocket J Squirrel, and I approve this message.
