Perflex™ Extended Cycle Filtration System
Start-Up & Operation (cont.)
To Change Bump Handle Position
1. Remove the bump handle grip. Push in tab at base of handle. Carefully pry the bump cover from the retaining
groove and slide the cover off the handle.
2. Using a drift (or 10 penny nail), tap the pivot pin out of the filter head anchor point, freeing the end of the handle.
3. Rotate the bump handle to the alternate position and align the handle and the head anchor holes. Tap the pivot
pin in place.
4. Reinstall the bump cover and grip.

Preventative Maintenance

While Perflex filters are basically resistant to the difficulties often encountered as a result of chemical build-up in
swimming pools, it is important to keep in mind that the mineral content in a pool increases every day as a result of
the chemicals and the normal water evaporation process. If the concentration of minerals is allowed to get too high,
the minerals will form deposits on the Flex-Tubes inside the filter, and will eventually result in shortened filter cycles.
To guard against this, a yearly chemical cleaning (soaking) of the Flex-Tube assembly is suggested. Use
commercially available 20% muriatic acid added to water in 1 to 1 ratio; OR use other commercial filter element
cleaner mixed in accordance to the package instructions.
WARNING
clothing. Always wear rubber gloves and eye protection.
WARNING
WARNING
After cleaning, thoroughly flush all affected parts with cold water.
Winterization
In areas where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be drained and removed from its operating
location and stored indoors. Prior to removal, cycle the filter as described under "Cleaning".
