“Filter Secret”

Filter Secret can be use to clean all types of Pool or Spa and Hot tub filters. Filter Secret is a very efficient chemical that is loaded with cleansers and degreasers to get the job done quickly. Here is all you have to do. Filter Cartridges or DE Grids: Mix 2 teaspoons of Filter Secret in a 4 or 5-gallon pail of water. Stir the gel so it dissolves. You will see foam. This is normal. Soak the filter cartridge(s) or grid(s) in the solution for about 30 minutes, longer if real old and very dirty. Keep them submerged in the solution or turn them in the pail so the entire filter gets a soaking. Remove filter(s) from the solution and hose off using only a little pressure. You will see foam that will dissipate in a matter of minutes. This is normal. That’s it! You will find that the thousands of crevices and navigable pores throughout the cartridge(s) or grid(s) are now opened. Your filter pressure should drop and the water flow returning to your pool or spa will be stronger. It is ok to pour the leftover Filter Secret and water on the ground without causing any problems. There are no acids in the mixture. On extremely dirty cartridges or grids you may have to use a little more gel to do the job thoroughly.

Sand Filter: Filter Secret is absolutely fantastic when used to clean a sand filter and the suction line(s). Whether your filter media is Sand or Zeolite, you can be rest assured that Filter Secret works. Here’s what you do. In filters that have 50-125# of sand (media) add 2 teaspoons (1/2 ounce) to a gallon of water. Mix it thoroughly by stirring (takes 1 minute or less). Begin backwashing your filter and pour the gallon of cleaning compound into the pool skimmer slowly taking about 1 minute to finish the gallon. Watch the green, brown, black scum and debris that is leached from your suction line and filter media onto the ground. You may repeat this process if you were still purging scum & gunk after the cleaner finished going through the system. If your sand or Zeolite media is over 125# you should add 3 teaspoons of the cleaning gel to 1 or 2 gallons of water, mix it thoroughly, and add it through the skimmer while the filter is backwashing. After all the liquid has been added through the skimmer it is important that you put the filter selector valve on the Rinse mode for about 30 seconds. This will ensure that all the gunk and debris are removed from the filter and valve head.

Important: You will see some foam. This is normal. It will dissipate in a matter of minutes. Look at how clean the skimmer is where you poured the Filter Secret into. Wipe away any residues and your skimmer housing and basket should be clean as a whistle. Perform this cleaning as periodically or as needed. Each Filter Secret container has 8 teaspoons of cleaning gel.
