Submerge assembled filter in spa and tilt each
end upward to remove trapped air bubbles
from inside each filter cavity.
Periodically, the polyester mesh (pleated) filter will need a more
thorough cleaning to remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this,
we suggest cleaning as illustrated above (step D), followed by
soaking the filter overnight in a plastic container filled with a solution
of water and a specially formulated filter cleanser available from
your Portofino dealer.
CAUTION! Never scrub the polyester mesh filter cartridge
with a brush as this will cause the polyester mesh to wear
out and come apart. Never let the spa pump run or have
a filter cycle come on without a filter cartridge in the skim-
mer compartment. Running the spa without a filter car-
tridge may permit debris to enter the spa plumbing and
void the warranty!
The average life expectancy of the polyester mesh filter cartridge is
approximately two years with proper care and water quality mainte-
nance. The smaller stage 2 cartridge in Tango, Caprio, and Caprio
ST models cannot be cleaned and must be replaced every 3-
months, or as needed. Replacement cartridges may be purchased
from your authorized Portofino dealer.
