If the pressure gauge on your filter reads 5 PSI or higher than the
original starting pressure, the filter needs to be cleaned. The ClearWater
II Cartridge Filter System features the exclusive 1-2-3 Safety Locking
System to ensure safe and simple filter maintenance.
1. Turn off pump. WARNING: Never attempt to clean filter while
pump is running. This is a pressurized vessel. It could cause
severe injury or harm to your person. Plug skimmer and pool
return lines or drain pool water level to below pool return line.
2. Slowly open the air release knob on top of filter until the pressure
gauge reads“0”. Open drain cap at bottom of filter and allow water
to flow.
3. Press the yellow safety latch on the underside of the locking nut and
turn the nut counterclockwise to remove the lid. Rinse the cartridge
element with a garden hose. There is no need to remove the element
from the filter.
4. Reassemble lid and follow start-up procedures from original
instructions.
My Original Starting Pressure is ________ PSI (Pounds per
Square Inch). I should clean the filter at ________ PSI.
