How long can I keep a tablet?
Pleatco FilterWash tablets are long lasting; as long as the seal is intact and tablet is kept dry there is no expiration date.
Why is the cartridge not white after cleaning?
White does not indicate clean – Pleatco Filter wash does not use bleaching agents – Bleaching agents can damage the filtration fabric and tends to affect the color of the cartridge and do little to actually clean the media. Pleatco FilterWash releases the biofilm that holds the dirt and oils in the media. Releasing the film release the dirt reopening the media. Naturally, the filtration fabric may adopt discoloration over time, however Pleatco FilterWash’s thorough cleaning allows cartridges to return to a high level of original performance without harming or discoloring the filter.

Yes. The Pleatco FilterWash POOL tablet can be used on up to 5 grids after they have been rinsed off.

We do not recommend this. Pleatco FilterWash™ comes in individual formulas – one for pools and one for spas, scientifically engineered for each environment.
How often should I clean my pool cartridge?
A good rule of thumb is when the pressure on your tank rises 8 to 10 PSI above its starting pressure when the new cartridge was installed. For pools we recommend asking your local service technician for advice or to undertake the regular maintenance for you.
How often should I clean my spa cartridge?
Most spa manufacturers recommend once a month. With heavy use 2 weeks. It is always a good practice to clean after heavy use such as a party. Pleatco FilterWash’s thorough cleaning allows cartridges to return to a high level of original performance without harming the filter providing longer product life as well.
The top of my filter looks bleached and faded was this due to the Filter wash?
No. Pleatco FilterWash does not contain bleaching agents and has no affect on the end caps. This is caused by chlorine and cyanuric acid and other chemicals added to the pool. This can also be an indication of an old filter cartridge that needs to be replaced. Consult your dealer or service technician as it may be time to replace the filter.

Yes, Pleatco FilterWash is environmentally friendly and the water can be safely discarded after use.
