Gfam Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 looking for comments on autocleaners for filter cartridges. I have a 'wand' type and have seen the 'flosser' but I'm considering getting one of these auto/selfcleaners to help extend the life of my cartridge. Seems that the models basically lay the filter down and spin by water force. suggest? pass? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyroute Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have the Blaster 2000 automatic filter cleaner and I would say it does a decent job of cleaning both my pool and spa cartidges. I have a well so my water pressure isn't up to par with most that have city water. If you have city water I would say this would work better as the pressure willl be better than what I get. I have to use a cap over one or more of the jets to increase the water preasure. Nice thing is they supply two caps with the unit. I would give it an overall 7/8 out of 10 maybe better if I had better water pressure. I also have one of the wands that you can get at namco pools for like 14.99 that you run up and down the pleats I think that one is useless http://store.spa-mart.com/p/00HW4001/Filte...eaner+Wand.html.

imnay Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Never used one. We just buy a new cartdridge every couple of years - we pull it out of the housing like two to three times a week and clean it with a simple water hose nozzle which has worked really well for us for over 20 years. Maybe one day we'll try spending the cash to try a special cartridge cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
