CARTRIDGE CLEANING PROCEDURE

WHEN TO CLEAN THE FILTER:
The filter cartridge should normally be removed and cleaned when the
pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure.
Follow all steps in the "Disassembly" section of this manual (page 5).
NOTICE: When sanitizing your pool using PHMB (polyhexamethylene
biquanide) based cleaners, use ONLY PHMB cleaners to clean the
cartridge. When using PHMB sanitizers, the filter cartridge MUST be
cleaned more thoroughly and frequently than for a pool using chlorine.
Follow manufacturer's instructions carefully. Use of any other type of
cleaners with PHMB pool sanitizers will void the filter's warranty.
1. Remove the drain cap and flush all foreign material from the inside of
the tank before removing the filter cartridge.
2. Allow the tank to drain.
3. Lift out the cartridge and hose it down thoroughly. Spray the entire
cartridge surface. Allow cartridge to drain.
4. Inspect the cartridge. If necessary, repeat the washing operation. If
the cartridge is damaged, replace it.
5. Follow the steps in the "Assembly" (page 4) and "Initial Start-Up"
(page 5) sections of this manual.
NOTICE: When this procedure no longer adequately cleans the
cartridge, discard the cartridge and replace it with a new one.

SYSTEM INSPECTION
GENERAL:
NOTICE: DO NOT use solvents to clean the filter. Solvents may damage
plastic components in the system.
NOTICE: Open the air release valve and bleed all air from the filter each
time the pump is stopped and restarted.
WEEKLY INSPECTION:
1. Remove debris from the pool skimmer basket.
2. Stop the pump; open the air release valve to release all pressure.
3. Remove the pump trap cover and basket; remove debris.
4. Check the pump for leaks. If found, see pump owner's manual.
5. Replace the trap basket and the cover. Tighten the cover securely
hand tight. DO NOT use a lid wrench to tighten it.
6. Start the pump. When the filter air release valve runs a solid stream
of water, close the valve.
7. When the system has returned to normal operation, check the filter
pressure. If the filter pressure is 10 PSI (69 kPa) or more higher than
the initial start-up pressure, the filter needs cleaning. See "Cartridge
Cleaning Procedure" at left.
WINTERIZING
NOTICE: Protect the filter from freezing. Allowing the filter to freeze
will damage it and will void the warranty. If possible, take the system
indoors for storage.
1. Clean the filter according to instructions (left) before winterizing.
2. Stop the pump.
3. Open the air release valve; open any system valves.
4. Remove the drain plugs from the trap, pump and filter.
5. Gravity drain system and filter as far as possible.
6. Disassemble the filter (follow instructions under "Filter Disassembly",
page 5). Remove the filter cartridge and store it in a warm, dry area.
7. Cover the filter with plastic or tarpaulin to prevent water entrance
and freezing.
