Regular maintenance of your Tier1 filter cartridge is essential to prolong its lifespan and ensure consistent water quality. The filter is designed to be durable and washable.

  • When to Clean/Replace: It is recommended that you clean or replace your pool or spa filter when the pressure gauge on the filter tank reaches 8 psi (pounds per square inch) above the pressure recorded when the filter was first installed. This indicates that the filter is becoming clogged and its efficiency is reduced.
  • Procedemento de limpeza:
    1. Turn off the pump and release pressure from the filter system.
    2. Remove the filter cartridge from the housing.
    3. Rinse the pleats thoroughly with a garden hose, working from top to bottom. Use a filter cleaning tool or nozzle for best results.
    4. For deeper cleaning, soak the cartridge in a specialized filter cleaning solution overnight to remove oils and stubborn debris. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
    5. Rinse again thoroughly after soaking.
    6. Reinstall the clean cartridge as per the "Setup and Installation" section.
