Does this work better than soaking in Leisure Time Filter cleaner?

At this point (one use) I'm not sure. It does not have the acid base that the Leisure Time has. Not sure how to tell if the filter has been degreased. Seems like it should work...

No that seems stronger to me but a little more expensive. This has no fumes though.

You have to soak the filter for 15 minutes in water and then empty the container you had soaked it in. Then, you run more water through the filter for about 2 minutes. I usually fill the container for regular use and empty 2 times just to be sure I get particle free water. It is very good and eliminates tummy aches from microbial bacteria in the water.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

yes, i popped the filter open and dump the dirty stuff in the trash then run it under water but always making sure I wipe it completely dry before I pop it back in. one thing is not very good is the capacity of this filer is tiny tiny tiny so you will do a lot of steps listed above

I have never owned a cartridge pool filter, but I am told water clarity is reduced when compared to a D.E. filter. My perspective of the time to clean a D.E. Filter isn't that bad when you get the quality water you are looking for. Additionally, I am not sure cleaning a cartridge filter is all that more simple and does also take time, opening up the unit, pulling the cartridge, washing with hose and then reinstalling. Finally, cleaning a cartridge generally does not get it back to 100 percent efficiency so the time to the next cleaning is reduced. That's my two cents worth.

Yes Works well once you figure out the backwash, Rinse ,filterlove it! I bought a Surface skimmer.It catchers most of leaves before they reach the bottom of the pool! Keep water crystal clear!

Cartridge filter cleans better. Sand filter does a nice job and over all its cheaper

Yes, Marineland's carbon is cleaner than most, requiring less rinsing to get rid of the carbon dust before you put it in the filter. I strongly recommend using a filter bag to contain the carbon before putting it in a filter.

use this with a sediment filter first. it can be damaged by large particles

Only if you want to be completely sure you've thoroughly removed all the filter impurities. In my opinion, 5 minutes is plenty adequate.

This is not really designed to be a cleaning filter in my opinion. It is more of a fountain waterspray than filter. My recommendation would be to get a regular pond filter, especially if you plan on having any fish or plants.

If you are referring to the small charcoal filters at the end of the wand - this is users choice - if your water is clean then I doubt you need it. Try it without for a while and see if it makes a difference.

I followed a recommendation for this filter from a chriskresser.com. He had a link to a guy who rated them. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a product that removes everything yet. It doesn't make the water feel sticky. Our water isn't hard so I'm not sure how it would perform there. Sorry.

Absolutely... I personally don't like using paper, but it is much easier For cleaning. Leave the gold filter in place, won't hurt, then just a quick rinse.

i use filter water from my fridge. and that helps. so right now I don't use the cleaning cartridge and clean the machine once a week.

I wipe off as much of the filter by hand first, then I spray it with a garden hose outside. The filter can take quite a bit of water pressure so you can clean it thoroughly this way. I just leave it in the sun for a while to dry. The filter dries in an about an hour or two if you totally saturate it with water. I'm still using the original filter. I've cleaned it this way about 15 times and it still works great.

easy enough to clean filter, however if you forget it could mess up the unit..it is really not meant for a dusty area...I used it while I was finishing the apartment I was building and the dust build up was considerable..i did clean it every day ...took out filter and vaccumed it..
