General FAQ

How do I know when to clean my filter?

In general terms, you’ll know it’s time to clean your filter when the Filter Pressure, as displayed on the pressure gauge, rises to the threshold recommended by the manufacturer - this is usually 7-10 lbs. above the “clean” pressure. Consequently, there are two key steps:
1) Confirm from your owner’s manual the pressure increase recommended for cleaning, and
2) Make note of your filter pressure when the filter is clean(ed) for reference purposes.

How long do filter cartridges last?

Estimates of filter cartridge lifespan vary widely from 1-2 years to 3-5 years and all points between. Where you might find yourself within those ranges can be influenced by your immediate environment, the square footage of filter media relative to pool size, and the extent to which your pool is subjected to body oils, lotions, hair products, etc. A great way to maximize filter cartridge life is to use a pre-filter which can intercept much of what otherwise reaches your filter cartridges.

Which type of pool filter should I use? Which type is best?

The three main categories of pool filters are: DE Filters, Cartridge Filters, and Sand Filters which, respectively, can filter particles as small as 5, 10, and 20 microns. Cartridge Filters are removed from the filter and cleaned with running water and a cleaning solution, if necessary. DE and Sand Filters are subjected to “backwashing” pool water to clean debris from the filter media. This process can commonly take 2-300 gallons of water that will then need replaced, resalinated, and rebalanced. Cartridge Filters are the most water-efficient and are easiest to maintain, while DE filters give you the most effective filtration.

WOW! Just WOW!!

This works just like a Dyson vacuum. It spins out most all silt and dirt. After my first vacuum it had one inch or fine silt that would have normally made it to my filter. If your filter is undersized or you are continuously back washing, this will reduce that immediately and turn your system into a Two-filter system. Easy to plumb into the existing piping and totally worth the investment. Buy it now. I can imagine that when these take off, the price will go up.

Pre-filter

I bought this because I live in Arizona and my pool is constantly filling up with dirt. The dirt fills up my DE filter and before you know it the grids are getting crushed from the pressure. This pre-filter was one of the best buys I've ever made for the pool. It pulls out just about all the dirt before it ever gets to the DE Filter. Truly amazing. Make sure if you have a DE Filter to install a bypass line otherwise it will strip out the DE media when you try to recharge the filter. Yep it works that good.

Unbelievable

We have had this for the whole summer and it is just awesome. The pool is heavily used, including by our Lab who jumps in covered in dirt. While he dog hair goes through it, this has captured all the dirt, sand, and heavier gunk which you can see in the clear dome underneath. I just turn a valve to clear it all out, and we have barely touched our main filter ever since.

So simple

So simple to install and since I've installed it in June, my pressure gauge on my Triton filter has hardly gone up so I have not had to do any backwashing. Great product.

Very cool

I can see all the dirt in the water falling into the clear chamber and I can flush it out in just a couple seconds. My main filters are staying pretty much spotless!

Ask A Question

Q: Has any one ever hooked two of the to-16s up in series. I love the concept with no filter media and easy clean, so would the second one catch the 20% the first one let go by, or would it serve no purpose and be a waste of money?

Asked by: Gus pappas - 1/9/2020

A: Great question. As far as using two "in series", most likely you’re going to get diminishing returns – the second may catch more debris that the first didn’t, but most of the what passes through the first will just be the kind of debris that cyclonic filtration just isn’t designed to catch (so it would just go through the second as well). However, people commonly use two (or more) together "in parallel", often on high capacity pools that would have a high filtration workload.

Q: Is it necessary to purchase this two filter system with the classic combo RJ45 Plus Sait system?

Asked by: RON - 4/2/2019

A: Sorry for the delayed response, Ron. You would only need this if you need to replace your existing filter or if you have a new pool and haven't added filtration yet. There are also combo packages that include filters - look for the "Ultimate Combos". And don't hesitate to call for quicker support or if you have any other questions - 866-766-5243
