Hose Attachment for Cartridge Filter

[kcassidy0772]

I’m looking to see if there are better things out there to clean my cartridge. I was looking at something called the Aqua Comb attachment for cleaning cartridges. It sells on Amazon. Right now I just use hose without any attachments. My question is are these types of attachments that have these “fingers” - are these actually supposed to be placed in between the pleats? Thinking that could separate the pleats and make cartridge less effective?

These do an excellent job. About $10.00 at Home Depot. Three for $18.00 on Amazon:

Pleats should be separated on the cartridge.

I use the as seen on TV turbo jet. When it dies I will get the sister Hydro Jet.

The fan nozzle shoots a tall and thin stream that does well seperating the pleats. You can get as close as you need for the stubborn spots without worrying about damage.
