📅 Recommended Maintenance Schedule
- Weekly: Quick rinse with garden hose to remove surface debris
- Monthly: Deep clean with filter cleaner soak (we recommend our 1L Filter Cleaner Soak)
- Every 3-4 months: Rotate with spare filter for optimal performance
- Annually: Replace filter cartridge (or sooner if pleats show wear or discoloration)
