when I used cartridge filters, i found that they had to be cleaned at least once a weak otherwise the water flow became very weak. Clogged filters slow down the flow.1380ken said:Very nice job. I am planning on running two filters also if I need to. I think one problem with the cartridge filters is that people clean them out to often. The cartridge filters work better when they are dirty.
Nope. A sand filter may see some improvement after it has captured a little dirt but not a cartridge. Any filter should be cleaned/backwashed after you observe a 20-25% rise in psi.I think one problem with the cartridge filters is that people clean them out to often.
