Browse Forums Pools & Spas 1 Dec 10, 2018 12:29 pm Hi I have a 10 year old cartridge filter (Monarch P4-200) for my 50KL pool. Its not catching the fine particles, I have swapped out some cartridge filters, but thinking it could be an issue with the water bypassing cartridges via internals, either the two filters not mating correctly or an issue with the bottom filter and the center pipe seating with spigot. I have used clarifier in the water to combine the finer particles, but it just goes through the filters and reappears; heres the photos after the third try. I did clean the filters after each try and they do show some signs of dirt but somehow the majority of the particles are getting through the system. Not sure if I should invest in another cartridge filter. Thoughts?

Probably the filter still shows that a bit. But trust me the brown stuff is residue that isn't being picked up by the filtration, even when directly vacuumed.

It’s because the labels on the ports are all wrongly positioned by the builder hence it confuses me. 2 1377 |
