Filter Cartridge Cleaning (Or Replacement)

It is recommended that the filter cartridge be replaced at least every 2 weeks.

1. Make sure the unit is turned off, and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

2. Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, push down until it stops and

then turn it clockwise until the plastic protruding notch anchors in the "0/1" position. Repeat for the

2nd plunger valve. This prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.

3. Gently turn both air release valves (5F12 & 05F-37) 1-2 turns in a counter-clockwise direction. This

will allow the housing cover to be easily removed.

4. In a counter-clockwise direction remove the filter housing collar (6F16). Place it in a safe location.

5. Remove the housing cover (6F14).

6. Remove the "OLD" filter cartridge.

7. Examine the inside of the filter housing.

8. If dirt or sediment is located on the bottom of the housing then:

A. In a counter-clockwise motion gently unscrew and remove the sediment valve (5F12) located at

the bottom of the housing. Place it in a safe place.

B. With a bucket of water or a garden hose pour water into the housing flushing out the sediment.

C. In a gentle clockwise motion return the sediment valve (5F12) to its location.

Do not over-tighten.

9. Place a new cartridge filter in the housing.

10. Return the housing cover (6F14) to its position and in a clockwise direction rescrew the housing

collar (6F16) onto the filter housing.

11. Turn both plunger valve handles in a counter-clockwise direction, pull up until they stop, and then

turn them clockwise until the metal protruding notch anchors in the "0/1" position.

12. Reconnect the power cord.

13. Turn the unit "ON".

14. When the trapped air has escaped through the air release valves gently retighten the valves

(5F12 & 05F-37) in a clockwise direction.
