Pool Cartridge Filter Cleaning Tool: Filter Comb for Pool Filter Cleaning - No Leaks - Filter Fin Depth 1-1/4" to 2-1/2

I was skeptic but it does work! A very handy device to have around for cleaining the hard to reach pleats of a typcial pool filter. The only negative is the fairly high price for the quality, as it is all plastic.

Really cleans the fins out well.The fingers really get out the large grasses and leaf matter and the jets work well.

I was surprised in how well this worked in cleaning our hot tub filter cartridge. It is inexpensive and easy to use. And, cleaned our filter better than our hose nozzle.

**See my video** Over the years I've tried several different methods to clean my pool filter cartridges. After discovering and purchasing the Aqua Comb, I've found it's the most effective and fastest way to clean my filters. I've been able to use just a high velocity garden hose spray nozzle to clean them fairly well, but it took at least twice the time and water compared to the Aqua Comb. So, here's the best way I've found to clean pool filters: 1. Buy a large trash can that will allow covering at least the bottom half of the filters in water. 2. Add at least a pint of Simple Green or another non-toxic cleaner 3. Soak the filters a day or two, flipping them upside down at least once or twice after several hours. 4. Remove and clean them with a good flowing garden hose with the Aqua Comb attached, until the water runs clear of sand. For four filters this may take an hour. 5. Keep two sets of filters so that you'll always have a clean set to keep your pool in service while you're soaking the dirty ones. I store the clean filter set in the trash can (used for soaking) in my attic. The Aqua Comb was a great invention and it's made what used to be a huge ordeal, less time consuming. The angle of the comb is just right for directing the flow downward. The comb teeth are durable enough that I'm not worried about breaking them while cleaning filters. The yellow twist valve allows me to stop the flow after cleaning each filter and saves multiple trips to the faucet valve. This was a great purchase for me and I feel it's sold at a fair price.

The product has an American imperial size fitting to connect to the hose. An absolute pain to attach a metric fitting to; fortunately my neighbour had experience with this problem with irrigation fittings and came up with a solution that involved grinding down a plastic metric fitting and securing it with lots of thread tape. It works really very well and no leaks now. Just a fiddle and perhaps Amazon vendor should advise that the fitting is imperial measurement..
