CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge should be cleaned every two to four weeks,
depending on the amount of use. Signs that the filter requires
cleaning include:
• Reduced jet power
• Hazy gray water
• Rattling noise in the pump or filter
• Heater not working
REMOVAL
1 Activate the STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode.
2 Remove the filter cover and open the small, black air vent /
bleeder valve on the top of the filter lid.
3 Lift the gray lock tab to disengage and turn the locking ring
counter clockwise.
4 Pull the filter lid upwards, and lift the cartridge elements
straight up and out of filter housing.
5 Separate the inner and outer core from each other by push-
ing the inner core out.
CLEANING
6 With a garden hose and spray nozzle, hose off the cartridge
element, ensuring to carefully separate every pleat.
7 To remove collected lotions, body oils, etc. soak the car-
tridge in warm water and a filter cleaning/emulsifying com-
pound (available at your HYDROPOOL retailer).
8 A cleaning cylinder may be purchased from your HYDRO-
POOL Hot tub Retailer.
9 Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing.
10 Hydropool recommends purchasing a spare filter cartridge
so that you always have a clean substitute ready to rotate.
11 After the element has dried - if necessary, lightly brush
between pleats with a fine paint-brush to remove remain-
ing dirt particles.
Do not use a wire brush or other devise
to clean cartridge element.
Do not put in dishwasher or washing ma-
chine.
RE-INSTALLATION
12 Place the cartridge filter back into the filter housing.
13 Replace the filter housing lid, pushing it down to seat, en-
suring that the lid o-ring does not become twisted.
14 Hydropool recommends that the lid o-ring be lubricated
with a non-petroleum based lubricant (i.e. Silicone gel)
when it becomes dry. This will help to prevent twisting and
pinching as the lid is installed, and significantly increase
longevity of the o-ring.
15 Install the filter lock-ring, turning clockwise until the lock
tab snaps into place.
16 Close the air vent/bleeder valve.
17 Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode.
18 When the pump starts circulating on low speed, it will be
necessary to release trapped air in the filter. Carefully
loosen the air vent/bleeder valve counter-clockwise until
there is the hissing sound of air escaping. Once there is a
steady stream of water, close the vent valve, ensuring that
the o-ring does not become pinched.

CLEANING THE ACRYLIC SURFACE
The acrylic surface can be cleaned and polished using a soft
cloth and acrylic cleaner, available at your Hydropool retailer.
• Important: Do not use detergents - the
remaining residues will adversely affect
water chemistry, making it difficult to
maintain proper water balance
• Do Not use abrasive cleaners – damage
to the acrylic surface will occur.
