Easy way to clean and extend the life of an Intex pool filter and save money in the process.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Filter
  • Hose pipe
  • Clorox cleanup
  1. Step 1

    If you have an Intex Pool system, you may get some use out of this article.
    I clean our filter about every 2 weeks and use them alot longer by doing so.
    First, I remove the filter by the instructions.

  2. Step 2

    Then, use the hose pipe full force to remove as much debris as possible. Let the filter drain for a few minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Next, spray the grooves very well with Clorox cleanup. Let it sit for about 15 minutes then rinse with the hose pipe very well. It's best to allow the filter to dry as much as possible before placing back into pump.

  4. Step 4

    If the filter is very dirty, you can repeat this process. You will be surprised how much more use you will get out of one filter.
    Trying to save the dollar is a must in todays world. I hope you or someone you know who has an Intex pool finds this article helpful. It has saved me money and should save you money also.

Tips & Warnings
  • I keep an old one already cleaned handy even after using it over and over just incase I need to swap them quickly while the other is being cleaned. If friends or family drop in for a dip, you can swap them and no one is the wiser.
  • Please read all warnings for use of Clorox cleanup. Gloves and eye wear are advised while doing the cleaning of filter.
