Cartridge pool filters are designed to provide reliable and efficient filtration for your swimming pool filtration system, but they do require regular maintenance and replacement over time. It's important to know when to replace your cartridge filter so that you can keep your pool water clean and clear.
Here are some signs that it may be time to replace your cartridge pool filter:
1. Reduced water flow: If you notice that the water flow from your pool jets is weaker than usual, it could be a sign that your cartridge filter is clogged or worn out.
2. Dirty or discolored filter element: Over time, the filter element in your cartridge filter will become dirty and discolored due to accumulated dirt, debris, and algae. Once the filter element becomes too dirty or discolored, it should be replaced.
3. High pressure readings: If the pressure gauge on your pool filter shows consistently high pressure, it could indicate that the filter is clogged and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
4. More frequent cleaning required: If you find yourself having to clean your filter more frequently than usual, it could be a sign that the filter is no longer functioning properly and needs to be replaced.
Como regra geral, os filtros de cartucho geralmente precisam ser substituídos a cada 2 a 3 anos, embora isso possa variar dependendo de fatores como o tamanho da piscina e a frequência de uso. Certifique-se de consultar um profissional ou consultar as diretrizes do fabricante do filtro para determinar a programação de substituição ideal para o seu filtro específico.
