• Open Air Release Valve on top of Filter Tank.
• Remove Clamp Band on top by loosening Clamp Band
Adjuster anticlockwise.
• Remove Filter lid by lifting upwards being careful not to
lose rubber “O” ring seal in groove in top of lid.
• The Filter Cartridge(s) can now be lifted out for cleaning.
This can best be done by using a garden hose with the
nozzle adjusted to give a strong, concentrated jet of water
which is directed between each individual pleat in the
cartridge. Work systematically around and from end to end
to ensure the whole filtering surface area of the Cartridge is
thoroughly cleaned with particular attention being paid to
the bottom inside corners of the pleats.
• After cleaning, reposition Cartridge onto standpipe
located inside tank.
• Replace Tank top ensuring “O” ring and Flanges
are perfectly clean otherwise the two halves will
not seal correctly.
• Close drain plug.
• Restart Filter System. (Refer instructions:
“STARTING THE FILTER SYSTEM”)
IMPORTANT — 130 and 240
• Each (12) months the Cartridges should be
cleaned individually by soaking in warm water
and household detergent. The 130 and 240
Cartridges must be be removed from the filter tank
(See Maintenance Procedure).
• Should calcium scaling occur on the Cartridges due to
incorrect chemical balance of the pool water, this can
be removed by soaking each Cartridge in a solution of
(10) parts water and (1) part Hydrochloric Acid for (1)
hour then hosing pleats as previously described.
TROUBLE SHOOTING POOLS
ALGAE
BLACK SPOT ALGAE IN FIBREGLASS POOLS
Add Hydrochloric Acid to lower pH to Yellow on Test Kit.
Brush Black Spot. When Algae has disappeared use Soda
Ash to raise pH back to 6.8. Black Spot Algae will always
reappear if pH is allowed to rise too high.
NOTE: DO NOT SWIM IN POOL WHILST pH IS LOW.
BLACK SPOT ALGAE IN CONCRETE POOLS
Add Algaecide as per manufacturers recommendation,
adjust pH and brush Black Spot Algae with stainless steel
Algae brush. The main cause of the Algae is ineffective
Chlorine due to high pH.
GREEN ALGAE
Check and adjust pH. Check salt level. Check cleanliness of
Electrodes. Increase running time to superchlorinate.
BROWN ALGAE
Check pH. Add Algaecide.
MILKY WATER
Check pH and adjust. Check Filter is operating correctly.
Increase running time.
FILTER PRESSURE BUILDS UP RAPIDLY
• Clean Cartridges or replace if necessary.
• Check Eyeball in Pool is in open position.
• Check Salt Chlorinator Electrodes are clean.
