Zodiac Filter Cleaner

Zodiac Filter Cleaner – 500g & 1kg

Restore your pool or spa filter to peak performance with Zodiac Filter Cleaner. Over time, filter media accumulates oils, sunscreen, body fats, and fine debris that a standard backwash can’t fully remove. Regular use of a dedicated filter cleaner lifts these deposits, restores flow rate, and extends the service life of your filter cartridge or media — saving you money on premature replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my filter with Zodiac Filter Cleaner?

For cartridge filters, clean with a filter cleaner every 3–6 months or whenever you notice reduced flow or increased pressure. For sand and DE filters, use after backwashing to remove oils and fine particles that backwashing alone can’t clear.

Is Zodiac Filter Cleaner safe for all filter types?

Yes — Zodiac Filter Cleaner is safe for use with cartridge, sand, and DE (diatomaceous earth) filtration systems. Always follow the label directions for your specific filter type.

Why do I need a filter cleaner if I already backwash?

Backwashing removes trapped debris but cannot remove oils, sunscreen, and body fats that bind to filter media over time. These deposits reduce filtration efficiency and can cause channelling in sand filters. A dedicated filter cleaner dissolves and lifts these contaminants for a thorough clean.

Which size should I choose?

The 500g size is ideal for smaller pools or occasional use. The 1kg size offers better value for larger pools or regular maintenance schedules.
