INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your Filtrite CF series cartridge filter.
The CF series filters are made to last by utilising the best quality materials available. The tank is made from high quality
ABS plastics, capable of withstanding the harshest of environments while DuPont Remay elements are used which are
regarded by the industry as the best available. Include with this Mircoban antimicrobial coating on the elements and
you are sure to achieve one of the cleanest pools possible.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN LOCKING RING AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE FILTER TO LEAK. GENTLE HAND
TIGHT IS SUFFICIENT FOR CORRECT SEALING.
INSTALLATION OF CF SERIES
1. Ensure cartridge filter is located on a clean, stable and level base.
2. The CF series filter has three inlet ports (from pump) and one outlet port (to pool/spa). Glue one of the 50mm slip
tails supplied into one of the inlets and second slip tail supplied into the outlet of the filter that suits the plumbing
configuration.
3. Glue in the supplied blanking cap and drain plug cap into the two remaining inlets. Allow a minimum of one hour
for glue to dry before subjecting filter to system pressures.
4. Glue water connection pipes from pump and pool return to 50mm tails supplied. (Ensure locking nut is placed on
pipe before gluing on tails.
5. Apply Teflon tape (not included) to the pressure gauge and screw into lid where indicated.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before starting up your CF filter, make sure the cartridge is in the filter and the lid and lock ring are in place and
tightened.
2. Open the suction and return line valves (when fitted).
3. Start pump and open the air release valve on the filter lid 2 to 3 turns –air will begin to be forced from the tank.
Once water begins to flow from the valve, tighten to close. Check there is a good flow of water back into the pool.
4. Clean the cartridge when the flow to the pool reduces or the pressure gauge increases by 15 –20 kPa.

PUMP PRIMING
1. With the pump OFF, remove the lid from the pump strainer and fill with water to the top of the lit pot.
2. Replace and tighten lid on pump.
3. If valve has been installed on the pump suction line, close before filling strainer. Open again after lid has been
securely fastened in place. Any valves on the return lines should be open. The pump should not need to be re-
primed unless the pump has been drained for servicing, or winterizing (refer to complete pump operations manual
provided with pump).
TO CLEAN FILTER CARTRIDGE ON CF SERIES
1. Stop pump-close valves on the suction and return lines.
2. Open the air bleed valve on the lid.
3. Proceed to loosen locking ring on filter. As you turn the locking ring, the lid of the filter will be lifted out of the
body. Once lid is free of the body, lift lid and locking ring together and place in a clean location. You can now
remove the cartridge.
4. Clean the cartridge by soaking it in a mild solution of chlorine and warm water for 15 minutes and then hose off
with water. Alternatively, special formulated element cleaning solutions can be purchased from most pool
professionals. (Note: do not use high powered water jets to clean –this may cause damage to the element)
5. Replace the cartridge; ensure correct location on the bottom spigot.
6. Insert the top locating spigot into the element.
7. Clean the lid, locking ring and lid ‘o’ ring. These should be rinsed with clean water to ensure not grit or grime has
deposited into the threads. Replace the lid and locking ring onto the top of the filter tank, ensuring correct
alignment with the locating spigot..
8. Commence tightening the lid lock ring –the lid will begin to be pulled down into the filter tank. Continue to tighten
the lock ring until safety catch locks into place. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN LOCKING RING AS THIS MAY CAUSE
THE FILTER TO LEAK. GENTLE HAND TIGHT IS SUFFICIENT FOR CORRECT SEALING.
9. Open the valves –start the pump.
NEVER LOOSEN THE LOCK RING WHEN THE PUMP IS WORKING

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FILTER
Your new product incorporates moving parts and withstands high velocity water with chemicals in it. It is important to note
that over time some of these parts will wear in the normal course of use and require regular checks, maintenance and
possible replacement.
Performing the maintenance checks below will help to identify parts that have worn and require repair/replacement before
further serious damage is sustained. Please note that repair/replacement of moving parts due to regular wear and tear are
the responsibility of the pool owner(s) and are not deemed to be covered under warranty. A small amount of regular care
and attention to your pool equipment will help ensure long life and trouble free performance.
Maintenance Schedule:
Timing
Maintenance Check
Service action (if required)
Fortnightly
Check pressure gauge - If pressure increase is
greater than 20kPa cleaning may be required
In accordance with instructions, clean
elements with a high pressure cleaner or
purpose element cleaner
Three Monthly
Check inlet/outlet o’rings for leaks
Check operation of pressure gauge –salt water
can prematurely reduce the life of a gauge
Isolate Pump, turn power off, clean and
grease O rings or replace if necessary
Replace gauge if required
Annually
Compare operating pressure of a cleaned filter to
initial pressure (when new). Also check for signs
of damage to elements
If pressure is more than 30 –40 kPa different
from cleaned elements to new filter, replace
elements
Important note: Regular maintenance is important to ensure long life and trouble free performance of your pool
equipment. If unable to perform the maintenance yourself, contact your local AstralPool office who will be happy to
