Pool Filter Cartridge Cleaning Tool

The media could not be loaded. **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 cleaner3. 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.

I resisted buying this thing because I thought the price was way too much but when I had to kill algae in my pool and my filter was caked with it I broke down and paid the $23.50 for it. I should have paid it years ago. This thing really does work well. My filters were coated in slime and gunk. I soaked them in filter cleaner and rinsed them with this tool and viola they came out GREAT and it was so easy and fast. So if you're like me and think this thing costs way too much buy it anyway. I'm now a believer. It's worth the $23. It took an hour per filter cleaning job down to about 10 minutes each for really gunked up filters. My normal filter cleaning (without5 the algae) I can do in under 5 minutes. I wish I had taken picture to share the before and after. You would not believe it the filters are so clean they look almost new.

This cut my filter cleaning time by 75%. Does a pretty good job, at least much better than a regular hose sprayer. Seems kind of cheap but functions pretty well. Made entirely of plastic. Has lasted 4 cleanings so far. Lost a star because the swivel on the end that connects to the hose is also plastic and press fit into the main body, so if you torque it hard, the swivel pops out and sprays everywhere. Easy to re-install but annoying, and it is probably wearing out the joint. I suspect it is good to clean filters 6-8 times, then you would need a new one. Worth the money but design could be improved.

this plastic sprayer gets into the small crannies works well its good size to hold and fits in your hand doesnt leak its built good easy to turn on and off and wipes clean quick looks nice with my hose

I am genuinely surprised at how well this works. It reduces the time it takes to clean my pool filter easily by 75%. I ordered on a whim and now, can't believe I've been doing without this thing all these years. Take my word for it....if you service your own pool filter, you need one of these.

I really wanted to love the Aqua Comb Pool Filter Cartridge Cleaning Tool, and the first time I used it, I was impressed. It makes cleaning pool filters much easier, with its comb design effectively clearing debris from the filter pleats when attached to a garden hose. It saves time and gets the job done well—when it stays connected.Unfortunately, the tool consistently pops off the hose connector at least once every time I use it. This is incredibly frustrating, as I have to stop cleaning, shut off the water, and reattach it before continuing. The constant interruptions make the process less efficient than it should be. If the connection were more secure, this would easily be a five-star product.For now, it’s a decent tool with a great concept, but the connection issue holds it back. I’d recommend it with caution until the design is improved.

I was very skeptical of this product, and even more so after it arrived. Like others I questioned its function and durability. I was also expecting water port openings at the end of the 'fingers'...otherwise they seemed useless. Finally, the price seemed high for a piece of seemingly cheap plastic. I didn't see how it would function any better than the spray head on my hose.Well...surprisingly it worked fantastic. Between the muriatic acid soak and this tool my filters have never been cleaner in over 10+ years. It also accomplished this mundane task in about half to a third of the time, also saving lots of water. It would have been worthwhile even for a single use, but it held up and can be used again.

Great product!!! Water pressure is amazing. Has a shut off switch for the water. This nozzle tip cut my filter cleaning time down from 45 min to 15 or 20 mins. And the filters are very clean. Would definitely buy again
