Cleaning pool filters shouldn't feel like torture.

You know the routine. Bent over a puddle, prying pleats apart with a hose nozzle, soaked to the knees. Two hours later the filter still isn't really clean.

Two hours, bent double

Four quad filters can take two hours or more by hand, crouched over the whole time.

Soaked, and still dirty

Cheap spray nozzles make you spread every pleat yourself, and they still miss half the debris.

$300+ on new cartridges

Filters you can't get clean clog early, the water clouds up, and you end up replacing them before you need to.

A pool cartridge filter spinning on the Cyclone stand while water sprays between the pleats

The secret? It spins.

Every other tool has you spraying one pleat at a time. The Cyclone turns the filter for you on a stainless steel bearing while the fan-spray wand drives water deep between the pleats.

Water-powered spinYour hose pressure turns the filter slowly, at the right speed. No motor, no batteries.

This cut my filter cleaning time by 50% or more! Love it!

John T.Verified buyerAug 19, 2026 · Cyclone Deluxe

I run a pool service company and we clean our customers filters every 4 months and we love the cyclone!! I am about to buy my second one so my sons won’t have to borrow mine. I bought a knock of brand on Amazon and it didn’t last 2 months. I highly recommend this product!

Kiley J.Verified buyerPool proMay 29, 2026 · Cyclone Deluxe

Product is exactly as advertised. Made very well, simple set up and break down. Cleans deep into the pleats, I was skeptical as well, it works great! Takes about 20 mins off each filter clean, and I do 2-4 a week so this is really nice. And having the wand is great, it is light weight and perfect length so you aren’t hunched over hurting your back.

Josh B.Verified buyerMay 21, 2026 · Cyclone Deluxe

The wand and stand work exactly as described. I was able to quickly clean my filters that were completely saturated with algae. I HATE cleaning pool filters, but this made it almost fun. I viewed this purchase as an investment that I will use for years to come.

Mark R.Verified buyerMay 21, 2026 · Cyclone Deluxe

We purchased the Cyclone Filter Cleaner for our new pool business about six months ago. It has been a life-saver. Much better on the back. We don't get soaked when cleaning the filters. And everything is conveniently packed in one bag. Love it! Getting ready to buy a second!

Angie B.Verified buyerPool proMay 24, 2026 · Cyclone Pro

As a pool care pro in Phoenix, AZ., I will gladly take advantage of any and all of the tools made for the job. I was on the fence in regards to getting this product because of its cost, but eventually made the decision to purchase. And I am so glad I did. Cuts filter time easily in half, if not more, and yields incredible results. Pays for itself within the first couple of uses, and so far it appears “built to last”. I wish I would have engineered this one. Good work folks.

Calvin E.Verified buyerPool proApr 25, 2026 · Cyclone Pro

This stand is amazing. It makes cleaning filters so much easier & faster. Instead of having to pick up and rotate the filter this stand does it for you. The wand is designed to spray perfectly into the filter grooves which also make cleaning filters easier & quicker.

I wasnt a believer when it first came out but boy was i wrong. Great product for our service tech. Thanks

Why it exists
“I tried everything. Filter Flosser. AquaComb. Every 'revolutionary' tool on Amazon that promised easy filter cleaning. They were all worthless. If I can just get this thing to SPIN while I spray it... That lightbulb moment led to 5 3D printers running overnight, dozens of prototypes covering our deck, and hundreds of hours of testing.”

Questions, answered.

Still not sure it fits your filter? Email support@cyclonefiltercleaner.com and a real person will check.

How does the Cyclone actually work?

Your garden hose pressure spins the filter slowly on a stainless steel bearing, about 1 to 2 turns a second, while you spray it with the fan-tip wand. Every pleat passes through concentrated water pressure, which flushes out the dirt, oils and debris trapped in it. No motors and no batteries.

What size filters does it fit?

Standard cartridge filters with 3", 4" and 6" center openings, which covers 95% of pool filter models. The exceptions are the Pentair FullFlowXF 620 sq ft (too tall) and very large Sta-Rite System 3 filters.

Will I get wet?

Getting wet is optional. Aim just off-center and keep the spin slow, around 1 to 2 turns a second, and the water stays where you point it.

My water pressure is weak. Will it still work?

Yes. Stronger pressure cleans faster, but even weak pressure spins the filter and keeps you off your knees. You might add 30 to 60 seconds per filter.

How much time will I actually save?

Most customers cut cleaning time in half, and many report 4 to 5 times faster. If four quad filters took you 2+ hours by hand, expect 15 to 20 minutes. Very dirty filters and low water pressure take longer.

Isn't this just an expensive spray nozzle?

No. A $20 to $30 nozzle still has you bent over, spreading every pleat by hand. The Cyclone's patented stand spins the filter so you stand upright while every pleat passes the spray, and it's solid aluminum, not plastic.

What's included, and what's the warranty?

The Deluxe includes the aluminum "Plugin" stand, premium spray wand, retainers for 3", 4" and 6" openings, a slim storage bag, instructions and a 1-year warranty. The Essential has a brass jet nozzle instead of the wand, and the Pro adds a folding tripod stand, the 30" Spray Wand XL and the Pro storage bag. If anything breaks under normal use, email your order number and we'll send replacement parts free. The 90-day money-back guarantee sits on top of that.

How often should I clean my filters?

Quad filter systems: every 3 months. Single-element filters: monthly in swim season and every 6 weeks off-season. Regular cleaning prevents clogs, extends filter life and keeps the water clear.
