FILTER CARTRIDGE CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT
1. First, turn off the pump and unplug the GFCI, remove the Skimmer Lock Top
Strainer Basket and the Filter Cartridge.
2. Basic Cleaning: Clean the filter cartridge by throughly pressure washing inside and out with a
garden hose. 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 also wear out the cartridge much faster than if it is simply hosed
off correctly.
3. To remove tough oils (e.g. suntan lotion, body oils, etc...) it is recommended to soak cartridge in a 1
lb. trisodium phosphate solution (TSP or any other strong detergent) to 5 gallons water for up to 12
hrs. Rinse cartridge to remove dirt. To remove algae, add 1/2 pint of pool chlorine or 1 pint of liquid
household bleach to the cleaning solution above. Leave the cartridge in the solution for 1 hour then
thoroughly rinse before reuse.
4. 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.
5. Replace filter cartridge in canister, replace strainer basket replace top cover.
6. A Spare "stand by" Filter Cartridge
continue filtration of your pool while cleaning or replacing a dirty Filter Cartridge
maintained, clean cartridge assures you that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak
efficiency.
7. Filter cartridges may be purchased at the store you purchased your pool from, or ordered from
Polygroup® at polygroupstore.com. Always replace with genuine Polygroup® SUMMER WAVES®
filter cartridges.
1. Check and adjust pH and chlorine levels daily using required chemicals. See Page 12 Section "POOL WATER CARE" or contact your local pool store.
