Our pool cleaners recommended that the cartridge filter inside the Hayward Star Articulate II pool filtration system was muddied and should exist replaced soon to avoid problems or costly repairs. Rather than pay them $80 to install a new puddle filter, I decided to remove, thoroughly clean, and replace information technology myself. No paw tools are needed to complete this process. You will need a garden hose with or without a sprayer nozzle.
