Filtration & Circulation
Maintaining proper circulation and filtration is necessary to ensure efficient distribution of products and filtration of debris. If you have cloudy water, poor filtration or circulation could be one of the causes. Watch this video to learn how to properly backwash your pool.
Filter Maintenance| • | Sand Filters - Backwash the filter when the pressure increases 8 psi to 10 psi over initial reading. |
| • | Diatomaceous Earth Filter - Follow the manufacturer's directions for backwashing. |
| • | Cartridge Filter - Clean the filter per the manufacturer's directions. |
| • | Use HTH® Filter Cleaner to clean all three filter types at least twice a season. |
Water Circulation

| • | Run the pump and filter at least 10 to 12 hours per day - sometimes longer. |
| • | Chemically clean the filter at least twice per season with HTH® Filter Cleaner. |
| • | Position return inlets downward at 45 degrees and slightly to one side. |
