Description
Cartridge filters do not require sand or
diatomaceous earth as the filter medium. Instead,
the filter contains filter elements which are easily
removed for cleaning or replacement.
Dirty water flows into the filter tank through the
water line connected to the inlet of the tank body.
It is directed through the filter cartridge inside of
the filter. The debris is collected in the filter and the
clean water flows out of the filter through the outlet
on the bottom of the tank body. Clean water is
returned through the piping system to the pool.
As debris collects in the filter, the pressure will
rise and water flow to the pool will reduce. It is
necessary to remove the filter cartridges and clean
them with soap and water on a regular basis in
order to prevent pressure from rising too high and
water flow reducing too low. Refer to Maintenance
Schedule Section 5.2.
NOTE:
A filter removes dirt and other suspended
particles but does not sanitise the pool.
Pool water must be sanitised and chemically
balanced for clear water. The filtration system
should be designed to meet local health codes.
