Filter Flosser - The Ultimate Cartridge Filter Cleaner for Pools & Hot Tubs

I don't write positive reviews often enough, but this device warrants my review! I was very skeptical that this device would make a difference cleaning my pool filters, but it has! I was prepared to send this back as a gimmick but it actually helps! I have used the hose with my thumb to widen spray or create more pressure, I have used a pistol-type hose attachment with many different settings to create fan shape water and high power spray, and I have even used a pressure washer on two lowest pressure nozzles to clean my filters. I don't recommend the pressure washing method as it tore the filter. This gadget is far superior to your thumb in hose method and to my surprise, also works better than pistol-type hose attachments. You don't need to constantly change settings for whatever needs sprayed on the filter, you get 3 or 4 different sprays in one gadget with only one spray pattern! You control how spray pattern hits filter two ways, first is distance. At close range you are spraying several streams across a semi-circle and it cleans about a four-inch space on the filter. Need a more focused spray? Pull the flosser back about 5 inches and all the streams meet in the center causing some kind of water collision that works very well to clean smaller spaces more thoroughly. The other one to two spray patterns are accomplished by simply twisting your wrist or the filter by 90*. This wrist-twist turns the spray pattern vertical so all the sprays are aimed into one pleat of the filter aiming in and cleaning about a 4-5 inch length inside a single pleat. When it loosens debris pull the flosser back about 5-inches and hit it with the water where the streams collide, for a more focused spray! That's it! Very simple, very effective! And finally, being made of metal (aluminum is my guess) it is made to last longer than a plastic piece. You can drop it, I have, and it doesn't break. This makes filter cleaning quicker and easier. I will be keeping mine!

I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. Did really well on getting the debris in the pleats out. Much better than a hose with spray nozzle - quicker, cleaner and used a lot less water. Photo of before and after. Took a little under 10 minutes to clean each filter. Sprayer seems to be well constructed. I would definitely buy again.

Works great. Saves time.

Product was received and was defective. (Shutoff valve broken) called the number shown, and the company representative was immediate, helpful, courteous, and agreed to send me a new handle. Customer service was outstanding.

I REALLY wanted to like this, but it’s just not effective at deep cleaning. It does a wonderful job getting the surface schmurtz off a cartridge filter, but it doesn’t do enough in between the pleats.

This thing works great and is solid

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The ball valve will not open when using the knob to open the water flow. Broken after 2 months and 1 use. Durability:Awful. 1 use

Worked better than expected, cut my filter cleaning time to a tenth of what it took with a typical hose end sprayer.
