I have attached a video at the bottom of this blog that I got from YouTube on how to clean your swimming pool filter. Cleaning your filter is something that will vary from pool to pool but most pool filters will need to be cleaned anywhere from once a month to once a quarter. Depending on how much debris, bathers, animals, get in your pool will be the deciding factor on how often it needs to happen but a good rule of thumb is, if your pressure gauge on the top of your filter raises 10 psi from where it was when you cleaned the filter the last time, it is time to clean it again.
