5. After you finished cleaning the filter cartridge, liberally lubricate the GASKET
y
with petroleum jelly and re-assemble in reverse order. Before restarting the filter
pump, be sure to remove the Service Plug
8
and Service Cap

.
6. Suntan oils, body oils, and algae can form a coating on the filter pleats which may not be thoroughly removed by hosing. Such films of oils and/or algae will rapidly
clog up the filters’ pores, greatly reducing filtration. Therefore, it is imperative to remove such materials from the filter element as soon as possible. To remove oils,
we recommend soaking the cartridge in a solution of 1 lb. of tri-sodium phosphate (TSP or any other strong detergent) to 5 gallons of water for up to 12 hours.
Tri-sodium phosphate is available in many supermarkets, hardware stores, or janitorial supply stores. After the oils have been removed, rinse the filter cartridge to
remove any dirt. If algae is a problem, add 1/2 pint of pool chlorine or 1 pint of liquid household bleach to the cleaning solution, 1 hour before removing the filter
cartridge from the solution. Thoroughly rinse the filter cartridge before replacing it in the filter case. Check the pool chemistry to determine the cause of algae growth.
7. Excessive calcium and/or mineral deposits may build up on a filter cartridge and should be handled differently. Contact your local pool supply store to ask about
additional filter cartridge cleaners or treatment for calcium or mineral deposits. Check pool chemistry for high pH or alkalinity; this may cause a calcium or mineral
build-up.
8. A spare “stand-by” Filter Cartridge
o
is an excellent investment. It provides a convenient way to continue filtration of your pool while cleaning or replacing a dirty
Filter Cartridge
o
. Also, a well-maintained, clean cartridge assures you that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency.
9. Filter cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from Polygroup
®
at polygroupstore.com. Always replace with genuine

4. The filter cartridge can be cleansed of coarse dirt and debris by
thoroughly pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose,
making sure to wash between all pleats. Allow a few hours for
the filter to fully dry and CAREFULLY BRUSH the pleats to
avoid damaging the filter cartridge. DO NOT scrub the pleated
surface areas. Cleaning and scrubbing a filter too vigorously will
wear out the cartridge much faster than if it is simply
hosed off correctly.
To ensure pool water stays clean,please clean the filter cartridge
every day and change when required.
