1. Remove Filtration Access Panel. Remove
BIO-Wheel.To avoid disturbing beneficial
bacteria culture, handle a BIO-Wheel by the
Ends and/or Axle (Fig. 13).
Gently clean BIO-Wheel Bearings and
inspect for wear. It is not necessary to
remove Bearings. If Bearings display
inordinate wear, they may then be
removed and replaced.
2. Using corner Lift Tab, remove used Eclipse
Cartridge and discard.
3. Unplug Light and Pump Motor Assembly.
Remove Pump Assembly from Eclipse
unit. Separate Magnetic Impeller Assembly
and Intake Tube (Fig. 14).
4. Clean all parts thoroughly with
cleaning brush. Rinse with cold water.
Inspect Impeller Assembly for wear.
Purchase new part if excessive wear
or damage is evident.After cleaning,
set aside until reassembly.
5. Using cold water, wipe down the inside and outside
surface of Eclipse unit with a clean cloth.
6. Reassemble parts. Refer to Parts Diagram (page 7)
or Assembly Steps 7-10, if necessary. Insert
Impeller Assembly into assembled Impeller
Housing, Intake Tube and Strainer (Fig. 15) before
reinstalling into Pump Motor Assembly.
After reassembly, Impeller should rotate freely
and silently - without wobble or hindered motion
of any kind. Install Impeller Assembly in Pump
Motor Assembly.
Replace entire Pump/Impeller/Tube Assembly.
Make sure that top section of Pump Motor
Assembly is seated securely in Flexible Pump
Mount (see Fig. 7, pg. 10).
7. Rinse new Eclipse Filter Cartridge (step 4, pg.9).
Install.
NOTE:
Use only a genuine Eclipse Filter Cartridge.
Substitutions often contain lower grades and/or
quantities of carbon and may not fit properly.
This can result in reduced filtration effectiveness.
8. Secure cords in Cord Organizer. Restart filter.
Check water flow and BIO-Wheel rotation.
Check to make sure Pump/Filtration Assembly
is operating silently and efficiently.
NOTE:
If water flow to BIO-Wheel is blocked,
water will overflow cartridge. Make sure Cartridge
Chamber and BIO-Wheel Chamber are free of
any obstruction.

IMPORTANT: Every BIO-Wheel is preassembled at the
factory. It should not be tampered with or disassembled.
Discoloration of pleated material is normal and desirable.
As long as a BIO-Wheel is not damaged, it does not need
to be cleaned or replaced.
