Cleaning the Filter Cartridges
1. Follow Opening the Filter on page 2 exactly.
2. Remove the pump strainer pot lid and clean the pump strainer
basket. Reinstall the strainer basket and lid.
3. Remove the Compression Spring and Spring Adapter from the
Top Manifold.
4. Remove the Top Manifold from the lter cartridges and lay the
manifold aside. See FIGURE 3.
5. Carefully remove each cartridge separately.
6. Using a garden hose with a straight ow nozzle, hold the nozzle
at a 45-degree angle to the cartridge and wash the entire
cartridge from top to bottom (see FIGURE 4).
Note: Pay special attention to the area between pleats.
7. For cartridges used in pools where high levels of perspiration,
suntan lotions or other oils are present:
a. Soak the cartridge for at least one hour in one of the
following:
• A commercial lter cleaner
Heed all manufacturers' instructions and warnings when using
polyhexamethylene biguanide sanitizers or other cartridge lter cleaner
solutions.
• 1 cup trisodium phosphate (TSP) to 5 gallons of water
• 1 cup dishwasher detergent to 5 gallons of water
b. Thoroughly rinse each cartridge to remove oils and cleaning solution.
Failure to remove all oils and cleaning solutions before acid soaking will result in
permanent restriction of water ow through the lter and will cause premature
cartridge failure.
8. Wash out the inside of the lter tank and bottom manifold. Water and debris will drain
out through the open drain plug.
9. Inspect the gasket around the outer lip of the bottom plate. The gasket must be rmly
and evenly seated around the entirety of the outer lip.
10. Place the bottom manifold, cartridges and top manifold into the tank, ensuring the
spring and standpipe assembly are retained on the top manifold.
11. Ensure the O-ring is clean and seat it onto the tank bottom.
12. To acid soak the cartridges, continue to Acid Soaking the Filter Cartridges, page 9 or to close the lter, refer to
Reinstalling the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring, page 5.
