How often computer monitor arm should you clean the pool filter cartridges in order to keep the pool clean? Different filters have different capacities and vary in the way they function. But there are a few basic things that you should remember to keep your pool clean and healthy. 

With a pool cartridge filter it is important to monitor the pressure indicator (gauge) of the filter. The pressure gauge will allow you to read the operating pressure inside the filter. The filter should operate below the maximum pressure noted on the gauge. The filter should never exceed this pressure. As pool cartridge filters start to gather debris and dirt the pressure increases and it becomes increasingly difficult for the pump to circulate water through the filter. The higher the pressure the less water that is circulated and as a result the effectiveness of the system will be affected and the filter will be at risk of damage. This also increases the workload of the pump and its power consumption.

Some pool cartridge filters will run at low pressure. Often the operating pressure of a cartridge filter is lower than for DE or sand filters. From time to time, you should take note of the pressure reading. If you have installed a new cartridge then you should note the pressure readings at short intervals in order to know if they are operating properly or not. One should always remember that as the filter starts accumulating dirt the pressure will increase. 

When you clean the cartridge you should not use too much pressure. The debris should be rinsed away gently. Periodically after rinsing the cartridge the cartridge should be placed in a solution of alkaline based cartridge cleaner. If the pressure does not reduce after a filter cartridge is cleaned or the dirt passes through the filter then it is time to replace pool filter cartridge. The cost is not high and replacing the cartridge is easy.
