Hello all! Newbie here. I just used my Aquavac+ to clean gravel for the first time and was wondering how often I should rinse out the pad/cartridge. I have the instructions somewhere, but can't lay hands on them. Thanks in advance for your help!
 
Hi, I don't have this so have assumed it's like a filter pad. I clean those when the water outflow starts to drop off or it just looks very gunky.
 
I'd clean it out whenever you notice a decrease in suction, and then at the end of each cleaning session.
