You can buy filter cleaner from your local auto parts store or I've herd of guys using dawn dish soap, don't know about that one. So apply the cleaner to the outside of the filter let it sit for a few minutes, then wash from the inside out, with the hose on a very low and constant flow

change the removable filters from the wand the one that connects to tubing. Clean the wand tip with alcohol

I've only had mine for 2months..I'm not sure,but other reviewers have said they have vacuumed or lightly brushed the filter to clean.

Next time improvise a filter in front of it, like a cloth or some screen on it so it won't get dirt, and you just need to clean the filter you had place. :)

HiTo clean the filters, first push bottom to release filter. Clean both parts with running water. Let dry and reinstall.

I use a very stiff brush and scrub the filter with this brush while holding it under the facet with the water running. To save water you can put water in a large bowl and scrub the filter like that.

I recommend you clean out the entire filter system, wash out the dirt , etc and place everything back in, and fill it with water before turning it on. Also check you hoses and make sure the top is lined up with the filter trays inside.

I got that a little bit and figured I didn't rinse all the suds out or residue from the cats built up in it. So, I thought I'd open the filter area to rinse that out too. Then, I wiped the whole thing completely dry and let the filter sit in the window sill to dry out. As I wiped the stainless dry with a paper towel, I did feel some film on it. So not sure what it was, but wiping it dry and leaving it out to dry did away with it.

Have you soaked it in cold water for 15 minutes and then scrub it ? Thats what the directions say. Also I know there are some phony filters out there. Where did you get it ? You need to call the filter company if you have tried soaking it etc and they can send you a good one. Hope this helps you.

There's a video on YouTube from Pioneer showing you how to take apart the pump to clean it. I haven't tried this yet but it looks pretty do-able. Before finding this video today, I've always just rinsed the pump and cleaned the exterior with a brush every time I changed the filter (once a month). Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyTFv_u3Sw

I remove the filter media and either blow the dust off using compressed air. Or, you can use a small, soft bristle, brush to,lightly, scrub the dust off. Perhaps a small, hand held, vacuum will suck the dust off. I haven't tried to wash it or rinse it off...that may work as well. Personally, I blow my debris off using compressed air at low pressure.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

I believe that is carbon residue. Before you install the filter for the very first time, rinse it thoroughly with tap water

I just snap it apart and into empty in the garbage. If it's really dusty I'll just wipe it with a rag. I'm sure you could probably wash it if you like. I use an old toothbrush to brush off the filter. That seems to work really well

I've had the same filter for years. I clean it with an old toothbrush and knocking it against something (outside). I didn't know I could wash it, till I came here to see about a new filter and saw all the comments about washing them.

Yes, it is my understanding that this filter is cleanable. I've had it less than 6 months, so haven't had to do it yet.
