Replacing Filter Cartridges

Filter cartridge element life will vary with pool conditions such as bather load, wind, dust, etc. You can expect
an average cartridge life of three (3) years under normal conditions.
To replace filter cartridges:
1. Follow Opening the Filter exactly (page 4).
2. Remove the compression spring and spring adapter by pulling them straight up. Once the spring and
spring adapter have been removed, separate the top manifold from the filter cartridges and lay the
manifold to the side. See Figure 6).
2. Carefully remove each cartridge element separately.
3. Check gasket around outer lip of bottom plate. Gasket must be firmly and evenly set around the entirety of
the outer lip.
4. Install the replacement cartridges onto the bottom manifold. Reinstall the top manifold on to the new
cartridges.
Note: Be sure the spring and standpipe assembly are retained on the top manifold.
5. Follow Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring exactly (page 5).
