OPERATION / TROUBLESHOOTING
The cartridge lter element can be cleaned by pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose. (The
cartridge is easier to clean when dry.) After hosing the cartridge, for best results, allow cartridge to dry and
carefully brush pleated surface areas to remove ne particles.
Algae, suntan oil and body oils can form a coating on the cartridge pleats which may not be thoroughly
removed by hosing. To remove such materials, soak the cartridge in a solution of lter element cleaner
(various brands available at pool dealer). Follow manufacturer’s directions for use and allow an hour for
soaking. Hose thoroughly before reinstalling in lter.
If calcium or mineral deposits are excessive, the cartridge may be restored to “like new” condition by soaking
in muriatic acid. Use commercially available 20% muriatic acid added to water in 1 to 1 ratio. Use a plastic
container and take extreme care when handling cleaning agents as they can be harmful to eyes. skin and
clothing. After cleaning, ush with water.
A spare cartridge lter element is an excellent investment. It provides convenience and ensures that your
lter will always be ready to operate at peak efciency.
