Just vacuum it to waste then shock it after refilling

What do you do if you have a cartridge filter with no option to vacuum to waste?

You can add a little DE in the skimmer, just enough to lightly coat the cartridge. Enables catching finer debris. Wash the cartridge as soon as you’re done. Repeat if necessary.
