How often should I clean the filters?
It is generally recommended to clean your filters with fresh water once every two weeks and teach yourself this good habit. You can clean the filter with, for example, a garden hose (with any auxiliary/intermediate) that will flush all the dirt out of the filter. See in our web store for cleaning Filter cleaning brush.
Every three to four months, and at every water change, your filters should be soaked with a special filter-cleaning agent. It is recommended that you purchase spare filters so that you have a clean set ready to go with each water change, and do not have to wait for the cleaning procedure.
Remove the dirty filters and rinse them thoroughly, spray well between the folds to remove coarse dirt. Soak the filters in a container of water(or bucket) with the detergent for at least a day. Now you can use your clean spare filters while the dirty ones soak. After soaking, rinse the filters thoroughly and then let them dry completely. With this method, your filters will last much longer.
When should the filters be replaced?
Filters are good for at least 1 year, depending on use. After a year, their efficiency will be reduced due to wear and tear on the material. The bottom line is that you will need replacement every two years if you perform the above cleaning method.
