How often do I need to clean my Rain Harvesting RHML03 Shark Cage filter?

[Juan]

To keep your Rain Harvesting RHML03 Shark Cage for Maelstrom Original running at its best, regular cleaning of the Shark Cage filter is key. The cleaning frequency depends on your location. Areas with lots of debris need more frequent cleaning than cleaner areas. It's a good idea to check the filter after the first rainfall to see how much debris it collects and then create a cleaning schedule based on that. Here's how to clean the filter:

1. Unlatch and remove the Maelstrom unit's lid.
2. Grab the handle on the filter and lift it out.
3. Remove large debris by hand.
4. Use a hose to wash out the Shark Cage filter.
5. Use a brush to remove any remaining debris if needed.
6. Take out the mosquito-proof screen and clean both sides with a brush or hose.
7. Put the mosquito-proof screen back securely.
8. Put the Shark Cage filter back in its place.
9. Replace the lid and latch it.

Regular filter cleaning helps ensure your rainwater harvesting system provides clean water for your needs.
