Section 6. Maintenance
6.1 General Maintenance
1. Wash outside of filter with water or TSP (tri-
sodium phosphate) with water. Rinse off with
a hose.
Do not use solvents or detergents to
clean the filter, solvents will damage the plastic
components of the filter.
2. Check pressure during operation at least once a
week.
3. Remove any debris from the skimmer basket and
hair/lint pot on pump.
4. Check pump and filter for any leaks. If any leaks
develop, turn off the pump and call a qualified
pool service technician.
5. Product safety signs or labels should be
periodically inspected and cleaned by the product
user as necessary to maintain good legibility for
safe viewing.
6. Product safety signs or labels should be replaced
by the product user when a person with normal
vision, including corrected vision, is no longer
able to read the safety signs or label message panel
text at a safe viewing distance from the hazard.
In cases where the product has an extensive
expected life or is exposed to extreme conditions,
the product user should contact either the product
manufacturer or some other source to determine
means for obtaining replacement signs or labels.
7. Installation of new replacement safety signs or
labels should be in accordance with the sign or
label manufacturer's recommended procedure.
6.2 Pressure Gauge
CAUTION
Maintain your pressure gauge in good working order.
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how
the filter is operating.
1. During operation of the filtration system, check
the pressure gauge/air release assembly for air or
water leaks at least once a week.
2. Keep the pressure gauge in good working order.
If you suspect a problem with the gauge, Jandy
recommends you call a qualified service technician
to do any work on the filter/pump system.
6.3 Cleaning the Filter Cartridge
1. Turn off the filter pump and switch off the circuit
breaker to the pump motor.
2. If the filter is installed below pool level, close any
filter isolation valves to prevent flooding.
3. Open the air release valve on top of the filter and
wait for all air pressure to be released.
4. Open the filter tank drain. When the filter tank has
drained, close the drain. Plade it upright in a area
suitable for washing.
5. Open filter tank and remove cartridge element (see
Section 5.1 "Filter Element Removal". Place it
upright in an area suitable for washing.
6. Use a garden hose and nozzle to wash each pleat
of the element.
NOTE Algae, suntan oil, calcium and body oils can
form coatings on filter element which may not
be removed by normal hosing. To remove such
materials, soak the element in de-greaser and
then a de-scaler. Your local pool shop will be
able to recommend suitable products.
7. Replace the cartridge back into the filter tank.
Inspect the o-ring for cracks or wear marks. Place
the o-ring back onto the filter tank top. Replace the
top of the tank. (See Section 3.4 "Locking Ring/
Tank Top Assembly Installation").
8. Reopen the isolation valves if they were closed.
9. Stand clear of the filter, start the pump and
circulate the water until water sprays out of the air
release valve. Close the air release valve. The filter
is now back in operating mode.
10. Watch the pressure gauge to be sure that the
pressure does not exceed 50 psi. If the pressure
approaches 50 psi, immediately turn the pump
off and clean the filter cartridges. If the pressure
remains high after cleaning the filter, refer to the
troubleshooting guide, Section 8, for possible
causes and solutions.
6.4 Breather Tube Maintenance
1. Turn off the filter pump and switch off the circuit
breaker to the pump motor.
2. If the filter is installed below pool level, close any
filter isolation valves to prevent flooding.
3. Open the air release valve on top of the filter and
wait for all air pressure to be released.
4. Loosen the drain plug at the base of the filter to
ensure the tank is empty.
5. Open the filter tank.
6. Check breather tube for obstructions or debris. If
necessary, remove the breather tube and flush with
running water until the obstruction or debris is
cleared. See Figure 7.
