CARTRIDGE CLEANING PROCEDURE
When to Clean the Filter:
The filter
cartridge should normally be cleaned
when the pressure gauge reading in-
creases 0,7 bar over the start-up
pressure.
Follow all steps in the »Disassembly«
section of this manual.
The filter cartridge should be removed
and cleaned when pressure rises
more than 0,7 bar above start-up
pressure.
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 manufac-
turer’s instructions carefully. Use of
any other type of cleaners with PHMB
pool sanitizers wiII void the filters
warranty.
1.
Remove the drain cap and flush alI
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 all steps in the »Assembly«
and »Initial Startup« sections of this
manual. NOTICE: When this procedu-
re no longer adequately cleans the

SYSTEM INSPECTION
General:
NOTICE:
DO NOT use solvents to clean the fil-
ter; 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 skim-
mer 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 the pump owner’s manual.
5.
Replace the trap basket and the
cover. Tighten the cover securely

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
0,7 bar or more higher than the initial
startup pressure, the filter needs clea-
ning. See »Cartridge Cleaning Proce-
dure«.
WINTERIZING
NOTICE:
Protect the filter from freezing. Allo-
wing the filter to freeze wiII damage it
