Where is everyone getting their Filters?

Jandy CL460 Filter - looks to be $200 for all four. I REALLY dont remember paying that much before.

Anyone having better luck finding their filters somewhere else other than Amazon?

Amazon is hit or miss. Check daily. Also check from an incognito browser as prices sometimes change.

FYI: Get them now they will only go up as pool season gets closer.

Filter cartridges should last at least 5 years and most well over 10 years. How old are yours?

I have seen some ridiculously low prices from that website. I would be very careful.

Lardo,

My filters are over 6 years old, and other than the color, they look and work just like they did when new.. I will be disappointed if I don't get 10 years out of them.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Hmm, for some reason i was under the impression you replace them each year.
Are you cleaning them at all?

I clean mine about 1-2 times per season. Get a filter flosser, a chair, and set aside an hour or so to spray them down.

Lardo,

I clean my 4 cartridges twice a year.. Once in the Spring and again in the Fall.. I try to do it when warm enough to get wet...

I use the same "Filter Flosser" that Poolgate uses.. I like it, but I am pretty sure any hose-end nozzle would work just fine.. It takes me about 10 or 15 minutes a cartridge, so an hour and a half to disassemble the filter, clean the cartridges, and put everything back together.. I also empty the pump basket and inspect my SWCG at the same time.

I'm sure that a "Pool Service" is going to say they need to be replaced once a year, but that is a load of bull feathers.

The reason I clean them based upon time and not pressure, is because even after 6 months, my normal filter pressure is only about 1 or 2 lbs.

Thanks,

Jim R.
