Re: How to clean a cartridge filter
I don't believe I have a corn pot.
I think I would just fill the trash can to the very top then add the cartridge, letting the water overflow out of the trash can. Then remove the cart and the water will drop. Measure the distance from the top of the can to the water. (height)
Then calculate the volume with volume = pi * diameter^2 /4 * height
But it's OK, because I don't have a cartridge filter either.
PoolGuyNJ said:First, find the amount of displaced water when adding a cartridge.
Fill a vessel such as a clean garbage can with enough water to cover a cartridge. Measure the volume.
Mark the water level.
Add a cartridge. Agitate it to knock off and trapped air.
The water level will have risen some. Siphon off the water into a large corn pot until you get the water level back to the original mark.
Measure the amount of water in the corn pot. That is how much water is displaced by a single cartridge. Adding additional cartridges should displace the same amount.
Now you can calculate how many gallons and how much TSP.
