MAINTAINING YOUR FILTER P6
Filtration starts as soon as the flow is steady through the filter. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water,
the accumulated dirt causes a resistance to flow. As a result, the pressure will rise and the flow will decrease.
1. Record the initial starting pressure which is the initial pressure
reading when a new filter element is working under filtration
conditions.
2. Ever y time after reinstalling “new filter element” or “after
cleaned filter cartridge element”, make sure the system is under
filtration condition, then turn the START arrow to the pressure
gauge pointer position to indicate the Start pressure.
3. Monitor the pressure from time to time, when the pressure
reading is over the Clean Filter arrow, follow step 4.2 to clean
filter cartridge elements.
Replace a new filter cartridge element.
You should replace a new filter cartridge element:
1. After cleaning the filter element, if the pressure is:
a.25 psi higher than the initial start ready, or
b.the pressure reading is over 40 psi.
2. When the filter element is broken, or the layer peers off.
3. When the pressure or flow rate is below the desired rate of the system.
3.3 OPERATION
Figure 4
1. Turn off all system circulation pumps and all electrical power on the equipment pad.
2. Set all system valves in a position to prevent water from flowing to the filter.
3. Turn the air relief valve OPEN.
4. Remove the filter drain plug, and water flows out from the filter.
5. Depress the latch and unscrew the lock ring (counterclockwise).
6. Liftoff filter upper body with the attached lock ring. Do not hold the pressure gauge to lift the upper body.
7. Lift out the cartridge element.

4.2 REMOVING CARTRIDGE
1. Remove the filter cartridge element by using a slight rocking motion and lifting.
2. Clean filter cartridge element.
4.3 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 may not have been removed with hosing.
1. Flush and drain any dirt or debris from the bottom of the lower filter body.
2. Flush any dirt or debris from the upper filter body and from around the air release area.
