FILTER SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
You will need to regularly inspect your filter cartridges to ensure they are clean.
As your cartridges get dirtier they could effect:
 Heating of the spa water: restricted water flow from a clogged filter can cause error codes to
display on the control pad and prevent the spa from heating properly
 Water quality: a change in function of the ozone injection system can result in a drop, or
complete stop, of ozone draw into the spa water
Keeping a second set of cartridges and rotating out dirty ones for clean ones can help keep your water
clean and sparkling, reduce chemical consumption and down time due to cartridge cleaning.
SPECIAL NOTE: Several replacement cartridges look similar. Using the wrong cartridge may cause
problems. Ask your dealer for the code that identifies your cartridge and record it.

CLEANING FILTER CARTRIDGES

1) Remove large debris by separating cartridge folds and spraying with a stream of water. Your
kitchen or laundry sink is useful for this.
2) Contaminants that cause the cartridge to become brownish or greyish in colour require soaking
overnight in specially formulated cartridge cleaner (available from your dealer).
3) Use a large plastic pail and follow the package directions. For safety reasons, you should locate
your soaking pail out of reach of children.
4) Rinse the cartridge thoroughly to remove all the cleaner.
5) Allow cleaned cartridge to dry completely before re-using.
6) Spread pleats and run a soft brush through each one individually to complete the cleaning process.
