5.1
General Maintenance
Filter incorporates moving parts and withstands
high velocity water with chemicals in it. It is
important to note that over time some of these
parts will wear in the normal course of use and
require regular checks, maintenance and possible
replacement.
Performing the maintenance checks below will
help to identify parts that have worn and require
repair/replacement before further serious damage
is sustained. Please note that repair/replacement
of moving parts due to regular wear and tear are
the responsibility of the pool owner(s) and are not
deemed to be covered under warranty. A small
amount of regular care and attention to pool
equipment will help ensure long life and trouble-
free performance.

Maintenance Schedule
Fortnightly
MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Check pressure gauge - If
pressure increase is greater than 20 kPa, cleaning may be
required.
SERVICE ACTION
(if needed)
: Clean elements using a
garden hose with nozzle or purpose element cleaner In
accordance with instructions.
Three Monthly
MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Check inlet/outlet O-rings for
leaks.
SERVICE ACTION
(if needed)
: Isolate Pump, turn power off,
clean and grease O-rings or replace if necessary.
MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Check operation of pressure
gauge – salt water can prematurely reduce the life of a
gauge.
SERVICE ACTION
(if needed)
: Replace gauge if required.
Annually
MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Compare operating pressure of a
cleaned filter to initial pressure (when new).
SERVICE ACTION
(if needed)
: If pressure is more than
30 – 40 kPa different from cleaned elements to new filter,
replace elements.
MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Check for signs of damage to
elements.
SERVICE ACTION
(if needed)
: Replace elements.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Regular maintenance is important to ensure
long life and trouble-free performance of
your pool equipment. If unable to perform the
maintenance yourself, please contact your local
pool professional, or an authorised dealer who will
be happy to send a trained service technician to
perform the maintenance for you.
For help finding an authorised dealer, use the

Filter Cartridge Cleaning/
Replacement
1. Turn off the pump and any additional power
source that is connected to assure the system
will not inadvertently start during service.
IMPORTANT:
Open the air relief valve (also known
as air bleed valve) about three-
quarter turn on the filter lid and wait
until the pressure gauge reading is
zero (0).
2. Close the filter isolation valves (suction and
return) on the system to prevent flooding.
3. Remove the drain cap located at the bottom
of the filter main body to drain water (Figure
14).
