I out of filter cleaner what will work that i could get local without trip to dealer 80 miles round trip
If using either of the above, RINSE REALLY WELL! Not sure if I would recommend dishwashing detergent... You could end up with a real soapy mess in your tub!You could also put your filters in bleach for 5 or 10 minutes and then rinse them and let dry. Alternating filters is always best.
I've never needed to use anything but hot water and a spray nozzel from the sink.
Does your dealer sell chems online? Or would he ship to you?
I am a firm believer in filter cleaner or other appropriate cleaning product. Cleaners cut soaps, oils, etc that inevitably get filtered out and end up in the filter medium. Rinsing, IMO, is not as thorough. The interval between deep cleanings is debatable, though, and rinsing filters periodically withing that interval makes good sense.
