im assuming yours is designed like this?
unless your filters are plugged and need to be cleaned and you have extremely low pressure flowing to the generator, then you should not be affect the salt cell generator with the filter, no matter the type.
for those complaining about how much a pain in the arse a cartridge filter is
1) turn pump off
2) using your hands loosen the top gauge slowly to relief pressure
3) take impact with socket and reove the bolt where the spring is
4) pull the top off and set to the side
insides should look something like this
1) remove the black top piece that holds all 4 in place
2) remove one at a time and clean with a spray nozzle on a water hose
3) put back in one at a time, place black top piece back on
4) replace lid once all are in
5) put bolt back in place making sure the top seals correctly
6) place top gauge on, but do not over tighten
7) start pumps and bleed the air through the top gauge
*) once water starts coming through the top gauge, tighten.
you may need to clean the tank, if so pull the drain plug and wash it out after your remove the filters.
cleaning should look like
here is a quic video on how to do it

Just that easy huh?
You know how I changed my sand filter the last 7 years? I turned the pump off and flipped the lever to the backwash setting for 2 minutes, then rinse setting, then back to pump.
Zero searching for tools.
Zero getting wet and muddy fumbling around opening bands and scraping knuckles on the concrete trying to get the damn drain plug off with channel locks.
Zero dragging the water hose over and spraying nasty shite all over myself and the yard.
Sorry but you aren't going to convince me this cartridge bullshite is anywhere close to easy like my sand filter.
Literally zero maintenance on that thing.
