If you’re like most pool owners, you rely on your filter to keep your water clean and clear. But if your filter starts to malfunction, it can be tough to know how to fix it.
There are a few things you can do to fix a pool filter. The first is to make sure the filter is clean. If it’s dirty, it can’t do its job properly. You can clean it by scrubbing it with a brush and cleaning solutions.
If the filter is clean and still isn’t working, you might need to replace it. Filters can get worn down over time and stop working properly. You can buy new filters at most pool stores.
Finally, if the filter is clean and working properly, but the pool is still dirty, you might need to shock the pool. Shocking the pool means adding a lot of chlorine to it all at once. This will kill all the bacteria in the water and make it clean again.
Here are a few tips:
First, check the filter’s manual to see if there are any specific instructions for fixing it.
If the manual doesn’t offer any help, try cleaning the filter. Often, this will fix the problem.
If cleaning the filter doesn’t work, try replacing the filter cartridge.
If neither of those steps solve the problem, you may need to take the filter to a professional for repair.
