A pool filter can look clean on the surface and still be severely restricted inside. Applied Biochemists Filter Blaster is a professional-strength pool filter cleaner designed to penetrate deep into filter media and remove the oils, scale, and organic debris that ordinary rinsing leaves behind.

Over time, sunscreen, body oils, minerals, and fine contaminants embed themselves into cartridge pleats, sand beds, and D.E. grids. This buildup restricts water flow, reduces filtration efficiency, increases pressure, and forces pumps to work harder than necessary. Filter Blaster is formulated to dissolve and lift these contaminants so they can be flushed away, restoring proper flow and filtration performance.

Unlike mild maintenance cleaners, Filter Blaster is intended for deep cleaning and performance restoration. It is widely used by pool service professionals as part of routine filter maintenance, seasonal cleanings, and troubleshooting for cloudy water and high-pressure issues.

Why Deep Filter Cleaning Matters

Filters are the backbone of water clarity, but they only work efficiently when water can pass freely through the media. When oils and scale accumulate, filtration efficiency drops even if chemistry is balanced.

A clogged or oil-coated filter can cause:

• Cloudy or dull water

• Elevated filter pressure

• Reduced circulation and turnover

• Increased pump strain and energy use

• Shortened filter lifespan

Using a dedicated filter cleaner like Filter Blaster restores the filter’s ability to trap debris instead of forcing contaminants back into the pool.

Effective on Cartridge, Sand, and D.E. Filters

One of the key advantages of Applied Biochemists Filter Blaster is its versatility. It is formulated to clean all major pool filter types, making it an ideal solution for both residential and commercial pool systems.

For cartridge filters, it penetrates pleats to remove embedded oils and debris. For sand and D.E. filters, it breaks down contaminants that coat the media and reduce filtration efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice for full-system maintenance without needing multiple specialty products.

Professional-Strength Formula

Filter Blaster is engineered for deep cleaning rather than light cosmetic improvement. Its concentrated formula works at the molecular level to dissolve oils and mineral scale that resist water-only cleaning.

This deep-cleaning action helps restore near-original filtration performance when used as directed, especially on filters that haven’t been chemically cleaned in some time.

Ideal for Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This filter cleaner is commonly used during:

• Routine filter maintenance

• Seasonal startup or shutdown

• Cloudy water troubleshooting

• High filter pressure diagnosis

• Reduced circulation complaints

Regular chemical cleaning extends filter life and improves overall system performance.

How Filter Blaster Improves Pool Performance

• Restores proper water flow

• Improves filtration efficiency

• Reduces strain on pumps and motors

• Helps clear cloudy water faster

• Extends filter service life

Clean filters mean clearer water and less stress on every other piece of equipment.

Usage Overview

Filter Blaster is typically used by soaking cartridges or circulating through sand and D.E. filters according to manufacturer instructions. After treatment, filters should be thoroughly rinsed to remove loosened debris and residue.

Always follow label directions and safety guidelines when handling and applying filter cleaning chemicals.
