REMOVING CARTRIDGE
1. Remove the filter cartridge element by using a slight rocking motion and lifting.
2. Clean filter cartridge element.
CLEANING CARTRIDGE
The cartridge filter element can be washed inside and outside by a garden hose. After hosing the cartridge,
for best results, carefully brush the pleated surface to remove fine particles. Do not use high-pressure
water to wash as it can damage the filter element.
You may find some debris on the cartridge pleats, which cannot be removed with hosing. From time to
time, the filter element will require a deep clean using a purpose-specific cleaning solution that can be
purchased from most pool shops. Follow the instructions provided by the pool shop or solution
manufacturer to achieve the best result.
