Default Diatom Filter or H.O.T. Magnum

I was in a hurry one day and did not want to wait for the chlorine
to clear so I tried oxy instead. It is amazing the tarry brown goo
that bubbles off the filter. Probably don't need to do it, but as
far as work goes, it's just a couple of buckets out in the laundry
room. Fill them with either bleach or oxy, takes at most two
minutes, then walk away.

Hi Jeff,
Is that just the regular powdered Oxi Clean, any particular strength?
Just curious, as I have ordered a HOT Magnum coming in this week,
and I'm just trying to keep notes about the various tips for making
use of it. Thanks!


Regular Oxyclean, or it's generic equivalents. One scoop to half a
gallon hot water. Use something heavy to hold the filter down. A
friend left half a six pack of Budweiser long necks behind and I find
them ideal for this task. ;-)
None of this really gets the filter back to white, but I don't think
it matters. I tried this because I'd read that oxy is fairly benign
and I could never seem to rinse all the Clorox out. I've since
learned no moisture, no chlorine so let the filter dry out completely.
Jeff


Ok, I've learned a bit today... I'll see if the oxyclean has any advantage
over tap water :-) jk
