Deep Filter Cleaning for Cartridge, D.E. and Sand Filters
Lo-Chlor Filter Cleaner & Degreaser is a high-strength filter cleaning solution formulated for the deep cleaning and degreasing of pool and spa filtration systems.
This proprietary blend of strong organic and inorganic compounds is designed to remove grime, oil, dead algae, organic build-up, calcium scale, and unwanted metals from filter media. It is suitable for cartridge filters, diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filter elements, and sand filters.
Used as part of regular maintenance, Filter Cleaner & Degreaser helps keep filtration systems cleaner, supports chemical performance, and assists in prolonging the life of filter media.

Features & Benefits
- Removes grime, oil and organic build-up from pool and spa filter media.
- Effective on calcium scale and unwanted metals for deeper filter cleaning.
- Suitable for cartridge, D.E. and sand filters across a wide range of filtration systems.
- Helps enhance chemical performance by supporting cleaner filtration.
- Helps prolong the life of filter media as part of regular maintenance.
- Provides a 24-hour cleaning application for thorough degreasing and filter restoration.
How It Works
Filter Cleaner & Degreaser works by using a proprietary blend of strong organic and inorganic compounds to break down grime, dead algae, oil, organic deposits, calcium scale, and unwanted metals lodged in filter media.
By removing this build-up from cartridge elements, D.E. filter grids, and sand filters, the product helps restore cleaner filter surfaces and supports more effective filtration performance.
This deep-cleaning action makes it suitable for routine maintenance programs as well as more intensive seasonal cleaning.

How to Use
For cartridge filters and D.E. filter elements
- Dismantle the filter and hose the elements thoroughly to remove all surface debris.
- Add 1 litre of product to 50 litres of cold water in a suitable clean plastic container.
- Place the filter elements into the diluted solution.
- Allow to soak for 24 hours.
- Rinse thoroughly, reassemble the filter, and resume normal filtration.
For sand filters
- Turn off the filter and block off all pool return lines.
- Undo or remove the filter cover.
- Add 1 litre of product to 10 litres of cold water in a suitable clean plastic bucket, then pour directly into the filter housing.
- Allow to stand for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, backwash the filter thoroughly and, if available, follow with the RINSE cycle for 10 seconds.
- Resume normal filter operation.
