SKIMMER FILTER CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER

CARTRIDGE

The spa’s automatic surface skimmer filter is designed to remove floating debris and contaminants, such as

body lotions, by drawing water through a specially formulated filter cartridge element. It is critical that this

element be routinely cleaned.

To Clean or Replace the Filter Cartridge

1. Never operate the spa without the filter cartridge in place. It is difficult to remove the filter

cartridge while the water is flowing. Also, there is a risk that debris may be draw into the plumbing

system, damage the pump and void the warranty. Disconnect the power.

2. Remove the end nut by turning it counter clockwise.

3. Pull the filter cartridge straight up and out of the skimmer filter.

4. At this point you can install a new filter cartridge and proceed to the next step. To clean the filter

cartridge, take it to an area where the run off drains to a sewer drain capable of safely assimilating

the water which may contain both unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue. Thoroughly rinse

with the high pressure from a garden hose until the filter cartridge is free of dirt and debris.

5. Return the cartridge to the filter well by following steps 1- 4 in reverse order.
