    When to Clean the Filter The filter module should normally be cleaned when the pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure (record the start-up pressure under “Owner’s Information”, Page 3). In some pools, accessories such as foun- tains or pool cleaners may be noticeably affected by the normal decrease in flow as the filter becomes dirty.
