GLB Filter Cleanse

How to Make Filter Cleanse Solution:

1. Use a large plastic pail and dissolve 1 lb. in 5 gallons of lukewarm water, stirring with a wooden stick until the solution turns dark red and is totally dissolved.

2. Remove elements and soak* overnight in sufficient solution to cover.

Sand Filters:

1. Backwash water. Drain water from filter and close drain valve.
2. Open filter top and pour premixed Filter Cleanse solution until the top of the sand is covered. (If top of filter is not removable, follow directions below.) Let stand overnight (12 hours).
3. Backwash until water coming from backwash line is clear. Do not allow solution to get into pool.
4. If top of filter cannot be removed, backwash filter then shut off pump and remove hair and lint pot cover.
5. Drain filter. Turn on pump, making certain that handle is in backwash position and slowly pour solution into hair and lint pot with pump running. Do not allow pump to run dry. Continue running until sand is covered. Shut off pump at once, leave in backwash position, and allow to stand overnight (12 hours).
