If you have a cartridge filter simply take out the cartridge and hose it down and put if back together.

If you have a sand filter stop the pump turn the multiport valve from filter to backwash, start the pump and run it until the water in the observation bubble runs clear, then stop the pump, now turn the multiport valve to rinse, and run the pump for about 45 seconds, and stop the pump again. Return the multiport valve to filter and you are done.

if you have a DE filter go to the following link for a comprehensive U tube explanation. http://au.YouTube.com/watch?v=jA-an54IVLc
