Asfyxiate Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hey guys, Just looking for opinions on how you clean your cartridge filters. I've tried a various amount of different ways with more or less success. I'm also looking to see if it's alright to soak/use a weak HCl (acid magic) solution on it. As always, I appreciate the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbear Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 NEVER acid wash a cart unless you have degreased it first by hosing it off, soaking in either REAL TSP (NOT phosphate free TSP substitute) or automatic dishwashing powder at the rate of 1 cup per every 5 gallons of water. Otherwise the organic matter on the cart can harden into a cement like material ruining the cart. Do not acid wash unless there is actually calcium buildup on the cart because acid washing shortens cart life. Only acid wash if and when necessary. If the cart does not bubble when a few drops of dilute acid are applied it does not need acid washing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
