Spring Clean Pool Filter

Your Gay Husband Tip of the Day :

Pool Filter
Spring Clean Pool Filter
If you have a pool then you know this is a year round responsibility. Spring is a perfect time to CLEAN YOUR FILTERS. This will not only prevent a malfunction that can be costly in repairs but it will stay in good condition and run quietly. I spent $15.99 for SeaKlear Spa. This is a Filter Cleaner and Degreaser. To replace 4 filters could cost more than $500...this is why you want to maintain them. Here is what I did...

Dirty Filter
When you remove the filter it looks disgusting from all the debris and algae. By looking at this picture you would think the filters are brown....NO they are white. When cleaning your filters make sure to wear a mask and goggles and to follow all manufacture directions for safety.










Cleaning Filter
This is really pretty simple. Put your hose nozzle on a jet stream and spray it until the water runs clear and it is white. Set aside and repeat on all 4 filters.










Bagged Filters with Cleaner
After you have sprayed down the filters, pour the SeaKlear Spa Cleaner into a spray bottle and spray filter with solution [I use 1/4 per filter] and put in a large black trash bag and let set in the sun for at least 4 hours. Good time for BBQ Burgers and a Nap in the Sun. After your nap, remove the from the bags and rinse thoroughly and set aside.








Replace Clean Filters
OK now it is time to put the filters back and get it going. I tell you my pool runs so much more quietly now. This is a must..so enjoy your afternoon and GET ER DONE and relish in a job well done...like steak.
Now it's Beer Time !






Til Later,
Your Gay Husband
