Vacuuming
Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter whenever needed. For fastest results, clean
the filter before and after each vacuuming. For heavy spring clean ups, we recommend using a
Hayward SP0727 diverter valve to bypass the filter and accelerate the clean up process. Consult
your local Hayward dealer for a detailed explanation
Winterization
In areas where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be drained and/or
removed from its operating location and stored indoors. Clean the cartridge element at the end
of the pool season by using the Hayward Jet-action Cleaning Wand (EC2024) or a garden hose.
