Default Is there a better way (than this) to clean this pleated pool filter?

I found this based on the advice so far:

Here's a picture of the thing in action:

I think you should be spraying from the inside facing out, not on the
outside facing inward. Also, some detergent mixed in with the water
might loosen things up a little easier. Or, soak it overnight in a
mixture of water, bleach, and detergent and then flush it. Sounds
like it got too bad before you started worrying about it.
