Upgrading the SFX Skimmer Plus
Filter System to a Sand Filter or
RX Cartridge Filter System
Tips: This instruction is only applicable if the accessories pack includes the seal plate.
Only use the seal plate when you need to upgrade the existing SFX Filter system to a Sand Filter or
RX Cartridge Filter system.
To replace your existing SFX Filter to a Sand Filter or RX Cartridge Filter, simply assemble the new filter
according to the following instructions.
1. Unpack the new filter that you have purchased, and take out the round Seal Plate included (as in below diagram).
2. Replace the SFX Motor with the Seal Plate following the steps shown below:
6) Remove the SFX Motor Assembly, and seal the Canister opening
with the Seal Plate. Fasten the Motor Seal Nut tightly to ensure
that no water leaks.
4) Remove the Top Cover, Strainer Basket, and Filter Cartridge.
Use a water container (e.g. a bucket, not included) to collect
the purged water resulting from servicing the pump.
1) Unplug the power.
2) Insert the Water Stopper into the pump’s water intake. Push the
stopper tightly into the Skimmer Seal Ring.
3) Detach the Locking Ring and RF Diverter by turning it
counterclockwise. Insert the Service Plug.
