7. Pull the cartridge out of the filter tank. If
replacing
the cartridge with a new one, skip
this step.
To
clean
the filter: Spray any debris from the
filter with a garden hose. Set your hose to a
gentle spray and wash off any large debris that
you can see on it.
Spray the filter right away before it dries after
you have removed it from the system. Drying
will allow the collected debris to set into the
filter media, making it more difficult to remove
later.
When spraying down the filter, be sure to
get in between the pleats on the filter. This is
where a lot of large debris can collect.
NOTE:
Special formulated filter element cleaning
solutions can be purchased from most pool
professionals.
NOTE:
Do not use high powered water jets to clean
the elements, which may cause damage. Using
a garden hose with nozzle will do the job safely.
8. Using a new or cleaned cartridge, place the
cartridge into the filter tank. Be sure that
the filter cartridge is correctly seated on the
cartridge support at the bottom spigot of the
filter main body (Figure 17).

10. Replace the lid and locking ring assembly
onto the top of the filter tank, ensuring correct
alignment with the threads.
11. Tighten the lid locking ring in a clockwise
direction. The lid will pull down onto the filter
