OK, so I had my first filter switch- new one in tub, "old" one in filter cleaner overnight, then hosed the heck out of it. The sudsiness went away really fast- I think I hosed it with a high pressure hose for about 10 minutes. Is that enough? (Everyone says do it more than you think, but I saw no sign of suds/bubbles after the first 2 minutes.)
Also, then how do you store it until it is needed in a month or so? I was planning to get it nice and dry in the sun, then store it is something clean- not airtight, but dust proof. Is that a good idea, or what would you do?
And lastly, anything special to do when I use it again? I read somewhere that the filter should be soaked (in water) again before put in, as it tightens the fibers or something.....? I think Boni said she cleans hers with a mild bleach solution before reusing.......is that true and a good idea?
thanks!
