I have a new pool with a cartridge filter system. Do I need to backwash a cartridge filter system?

Jun 06, 2007 by ballerpnc | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

I believe you have to with a sand filter, but I'm not sure about a cartridge filter. Any help would be greatly appreciated...... also does anyone know how much I should backfill around the sides around an aboveground pool?

You don't backwash cartridge filters... to clean them you take them out and hose the dirt off, or soak it in a cleaner solution when it becomes necessary (when hosing alone doesn't do it anymore...)
