GENERAL INFORMATION When to Clean the Filter The filter module should normally be cleaned when the pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure (record the start-up pressure under “Owner’s Information”, below, right). In some pools, accessories such as fountains or pool cleaners may be noticeably affected by the normal decrease in flow as the filter becomes dirty.

When to Clean the Filter The filter module should normally be cleaned when the pressure gauge reading increases 10 PSI over the start-up pressure (record the start-up pressure under “Owner’s Information”, Page 3). In some pools, accessories such as fountains or pool cleaners may be noticeably affected by the normal decrease in flow as the filter becomes dirty. If so, clean the filter more frequently (that is, at a pressure increase of less than 10 PSI) in order to maintain the required flow.
