How often should I clean my Rain Harvesting RHML03 Shark Cage filter?

[VanSabrina]

To keep your Rain Harvesting RHML03 Shark Cage for the Maelstrom Original running at its best, regular cleaning of the filter is key. The frequency of cleaning depends on your environment. If you're in an area with a lot of debris, you'll need to clean it more often than if you're in a cleaner area. We suggest checking the Shark Cage filter after the first rainfall to see how much debris has accumulated. This will help you figure out the best cleaning schedule for your location.

Here's how to clean the Shark Cage filter:

1. Unlatch and remove the lid of your Maelstrom unit.
2. Grab the handle on the top of the filter and lift it out.
3. Remove any large debris by hand.
4. Use a hose to wash out the Shark Cage filter.
5. If needed, use a brush to get rid of any remaining debris.
6. Take out the mosquito-proof screen and clean both sides using a brush or hose.
7. Put the mosquito-proof screen back in securely.
8. Put the Shark Cage filter back into its spot in the housing.
9. Put the lid back on and latch it.

Keeping up with the maintenance of your Shark Cage filter will ensure your rainwater harvesting system keeps working effectively, giving you clean water for various uses.
