Would you use these cars (filters)

[jmsilhy]

Hi guys, I found a set of old filters in the home I purchased, and I hosed them down really well and then soaked them in phosphate free dishwasher detergent. Then I hosed them again to remove all the soap and more debris came out. Would you use them in your pool? It’s time to clean the current ones so these would give me a chance to swap them out, clean the other ones really
well and have an extra set.
They seem pretty good, except for a few pleats open here and there, here are the pictures:

jm,

They look as good as the filters that I am currently using... and they work just fine..

Just so that you can get a feel for the difference a VS pump can make... My filter pressure at 1200 RPM is about 1 on a 30 lb gauge... I'd be curious what your filter pressure is with a 2 HP single speed pump???

And... how often do you clean your filter?

Thanks,

Jim R.

I swapped them out this afternoon, and the installed ones are pretty gunky but seem to be in better condition, besides they are Pentair. Here’s a snap of the filters and the pressure after installing back.

I’ve cleaned the filter twice since I moved here last summer, around September or so and today.

Thanks @Jimrahbe
