I will be switching to dichlor, N2 and ozone shortly.  I was using soft soak.  Can anyone tell me if my filters that I used during my soft soak days (once cleaned with TSP) will be salvageable for my dichlor days ahead?  I've read you have to throw them away because there is no way to clean them totally and they could foul up the new water and the dichlor system.  I will throw them away if that is the case just wanting to check what you all have experienced or heard.  Thanks.

The filters will be fine. but I'm not sure that T.S.P. is the way to clean them.  They should be cleaned using a soaking method once with a filter cleaner, and then again with non chlorine shock.  The n.c.s. helps to kill all the left over biguinide from the soft soak. The trickis to rinse them VERY WELL.
Good luck!

TSP will work fine. 1 cup in 5 gal of water.  Let it soak for a few hours swishing it occasionally.  Then swish then EACH 3-4 times in clean water ( 3-4 separate water changes).  Then hose them off and your set
