6. Pool Cleaner Stops Working:
A. Clean lter and observe performance of pool cleaner.
B. If pool cleaner performs better after lter has been cleaned, use a
shorter cleaning cycle for the lter (that is, clean the lter after a
pressure rise of less than 10 PSI).
4. Remove the drain plugs from the trap, pump and lter.
5. Gravity drain system and lter as far as possible.
6. Disassemble the lter (follow instructions under “Filter Disassembly”,
page 6). Remove the lter cartridge and store it in a warm, dry area.
7. Cover the lter with plastic or tarpaulin to prevent water entrance
