i clean it about every 6month and change/clean the while wools.
remember to only wash the canister with age or water from the tank to maintain the good bacteria.
Hi, may i know how often is required to clean a canister filter?
I have been cleaning/washing the canister and the cotton media once a week, but i think is a bit too much. Would like to have some advise on often is it necessary to clean the canister (once a every 2 weeks /1 month / 3 months?).
Thanks.

ok.. thank for your advise.. now i know that there is no need to clean the canister filter once a week.. ahah..
Maybe i add my input,
Rinse my media in tank water when/if water flow drops
(But i rinse the filter pad in tapwater and squeeze out the tapwater before filling)
Change Filter media once every around 3 months.
I saw taught it depends on BIO load, not sure how to count that thou.
