There are instructions on youtube. You basically use soapy water and wash the filter. Let it dry. Then apply a little bit of oil on the tips of the fins to collect the initial portion of dust and so forth. Different manufactures use different methods.

I bought the one with the Self-Cleaning Recharger. BUT it is not necessary as you can clean it simply by putting it in water and turning it on. This will save you a lot of money

Couple of tips: Rinse off new filters, and season them by running clean water through them the first time you use them. Clean the surface of the filters with a soft scrub brush. As someone else pointed out, make sure the dirty water bucket with the filters is NOT air-tight or you will create a flow-stopping vacuum. Keep it filled with dirty water to help provide the water weight needed for optimum flow. Keep dirty water in it at all times. and transfer filtered water from lower catchment reservoir into water pitchers often to prevent overflow. If none of that helps. add filters. Drill the holes and attach new filters as necessary to increase filter system throughput.

Back flushing or cleaning the Trio is easy and is recommend to be done in a clean environment such as a kitchen sink. After dis-assembly, simply run clean water through the top and bottom of the UF hollow fiber membrane. You will most likely see some sediments brake loose from the membrane. After a few minutes of running clean water through the filter shake it dry and place in a solution of vinegar to ensure no cross contamination. The carbon filter isn't the same as pet store filters. It must be replaced with the cartridge from Renovo.

I recommend you clean out the entire filter system, wash out the dirt , etc and place everything back in, and fill it with water before turning it on. Also check you hoses and make sure the top is lined up with the filter trays inside.

I haven't tried washing the filter yet, but I went on the companies website & this is the information the gave: WASHING YOUR FILTER Many of the filters that Crucial Vacuum manufactures are washable and reusable. Washing your filter is an important part of vacuum cleaner maintenance. If your filter is not clean, your vacuum will have a hard time absorbing and eliminating dirt. Improper cleaning of the filter reduces the suction capability of the vacuum over time. STEP 1: You should ideally clean your filter after every 3-4 uses. Before cleaning your filter you should refer to the vacuums manual. STEP 2: When removing dust from the filter, chances are it will spread around the air, it is best to take the filter outside. Tap the filter gently on the side of the garbage so that most of the dust falls out. STEP 3: If your filter is NOT washable, it will be adversely affected if you wash it. Rinse the outside surface of filter with cold-luke warm running water (do not use soap). STEP 4: If you washed the filter, air-dry 24-48 hours before you replace it in the vacuum. Once the filter is clean and dry, you can put it back into the vacuum. IMPORTANT: Do not brush your filter. Do not clean you filter with abrasive materials. Do not scrub your filter between the pleats. *Even with regular cleaning, most vacuum filters have a specific lifespan and must be replaced regularly. Replace your Crucial Vacuum filter every 3-6 months. Hope that's helpful.

I order the filters from Home Depot. You can also vacuum the cartridges and the felt pre-filter and get a little more life out of them. Remember to push in the reset button by holding down the end of a paper clip into the hole till it beeps.

I remove the regular filters and put them in the slots where the regular filters go, put it all together and run. Then I throw away the blue spring cleanup filters that are soooooo dirty when it is finished running. Hope this helps.

There's a video on YouTube from Pioneer showing you how to take apart the pump to clean it. I haven't tried this yet but it looks pretty do-able. Before finding this video today, I've always just rinsed the pump and cleaned the exterior with a brush every time I changed the filter (once a month). Here's a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyTFv_u3Sw

The best way to clean the filter is warm soapy water and rinse it from the inside. Check you you tube videos on how to clean a AEM dry flow filter.

I clean with soap, water, and sponge, let it air dry completely including the filter, then just pack it in a paper towel in a big ziploc bag so I don't lose any of the little parts.
