Replacing the Nature
2
Purifier Cartridge
The cartridge lasts six (6) months from the date of installation
under normal operating conditions.
To replace the cartridge:
1.
Shut off your pool’s pump and filter.
2.
Close any valves between the filter and pool
to prevent
draining the pool.
3.
Unscrew the housing cap
by twisting the cap counter-
clockwise until the cap is free of the housing base. If the
cap is hard to twist, use a long-shafted screwdriver as a twist
handle, placing it in the slot at the top of the housing cap.
4.
Lift out the old cartridge
and replace the O-ring with the
new one provided in the cartridge box.
5.
Insert the new cartridge.
6.
Set the O-ring and cap in place
and screw the cap
clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
7.
Open any valves that were closed
to isolate the Nature
2
Purifier in step 2.
8.
Restart your pool’s pump.
Check for leaks and fix any
leaking fittings.
9.
Follow the start up procedures
described on page 4.
Winterizing Your Pool
Use these steps as a guide. Consult your dealer for specific
information in your area.
Warm Climate
1.
Reduce the number of hours the pump runs
since the
cooler weather decreases the spread of algae and other
pollutants.
2.
There is no need to shock
the pool during cool weather
unless the water becomes cloudy (as may occur after a
winter storm). See Cloudy Water in Troubleshooting section.
Cold Climate
1.
Check total alkalinity and pH
of pool to make sure that they
are in proper balance.
2.
Vacuum the pool bottom
to remove any debris or other
potential contaminants.
3.
Shock
the pool to clear the water.
4.
Add a winter algaecide
following manufacturer’s
instructions.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a winter algaecide with copper in it.
This will void the Nature
2
no-stain warranty.
5.
Backwash the filter
.
6.
Drain part of the pool water
. The amount to drain varies
from one part of the country to another. Consult your dealer
for advice.
7.
Winterize the purifier
as follows:
• Unscrew the housing cap from the purifier base.
• Remove the winter drain plug and drain the water completely
out of the base of the purifier.
• Lift out the purifier cartridge and dispose of it.
• Set the housing cap and cap O-ring in place and screw it tight.
• Store the purifier with your pool equipment, indoors if
possible.
8.
Winterize the pipes
with pool antifreeze following
manufacturer’s instructions.
9.
Drain the water out of all equipment
(pump, filter, etc.).
10.
Store
all baskets, hoses and cleaning equipment, indoors if
possible.
11.
Cover the pool
with a winter cover.
