FILTER CARTRIDGE
MAINTENANCE
Every month, the filter cartridge should be
cleaned to remove the objects and particles
that have lodged in the cartridge pleats. Using
household water pressure and a garden hose
with a pressurized nozzle, push water from
inside to outside of the pleats, forcing all the
trapped particles out. NOTE: Never run your spa
without a filter cartridge!!! This will invalidate your
warranty.
NOTE: Filter cartridges should be replaced every
six to eight months or earlier when needed. Dirty
filters can cause your spa pump to burn out and
will invalidate your warranty.
FILTER CARTRIDGE REMOVAL
AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Spa uses a screw in filter cartridge that is easily
removed.
•
Turn off the power to the spa, (by turning OFF
the subpanel breaker).
•
Push down slightly and turn filter basket
counter clockwise to unlock, then pull the
basket and weir out.
•
Unscrew the filter cartridge counter clockwise
and bring it out of the spa (requires many
turns).
•
Rinse cartridge using a garden hose. Rotate
and separate filter pleats while spraying water
to remove all dirt and debris possible. Let filter
dry and look for calcium deposits (scaling) or
an oil film. If you find these, you will need to
deep clean your filter cartridge with a "spa filter
cleaner" solution to break down and remove
unwanted deposits and oils. (For longer filter
life you should soak filter in solution regularly.)
