Filter Brite is an alkaline filter cleaner that removes scale, rust and other deposits from filters. It can be used with all filter types. Regular use lengthens the life of the filter media, and helps keep the water sparkling and clear. Cleaning the filter chemically with Filter Brite lengthens filter runs and promotes better filtration. It can reduce maintenance costs and may reduce chemical use by improving water circulation. Use Filter Brite on filters for chlorinated or brominated pools at least twice a season to control the accumulation of scale and rust.
