MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Fulflo Cartridge Filter

A general check of the filter and the pressure gauge should be carried out at least once a week.
When the pressure gauge reading has risen by 50kPa/7.25PSI above a clean filter element reading
it is recommended that the cartridge filter be cleaned. To do this, follow the procedure below.
1. With the pump off, loosen the air release valve on top of the filter to release pressure from the
system.
2. Loosen clamp band T bolt and remove the clamp around the middle of the filter tank by
turning the knob anticlockwise.
3. Lift the top portion of the tank up and off
the bottom portion, taking care not to
damage the filter cartridge(s) inside.
4. Remove the filter cartridge(s), caps and
spacer and hose down with a garden
hose until clean. You may also wish
to use a specialised filter cleaning
solution to remove debris not flushed
away during cleaning. Speak to your
local pool professional or contact Waterco.
5. Replace the filter cartridge(s), caps and spacer.
6. Replace the tank top ensuring the o ring is
seated correctly.
7. Replace the clamp and secure by turning
the T bolt knob clockwise.
8. Follow the steps in Fulflo Cartridge Filter Start Up to restart the system.
9. Maintain a correct chemical balance of your pool / spa water. The chemical balance of water is
a relationship between its pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness and water temperature. The
water must be maintained at all times to the following:
PH LEVEL : BETWEEN 7.2 & 7.8. TOTAL ALKALINITY : BETWEEN 80 & 150ppm.
CALCIUM HARDNESS : BETWEEN 150 & 300ppm. And within these tolerances be balanced to
the Langelier Saturation Index within a range of -0.2 to +0.2.
NOTE: Testing kits are available to test the water yourself or alternately bring a sample of the
water to a professional pool and spa shop.
10. Mains water and rural water supplies need to be monitored. Saturation (life) in mains water or
bore (rural) will vary depending on water quality.
11. To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump
strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
12. Replace the pressure gauge if faulty readings are observed.
Over time, cleaning the cartridge will become less effective. If you notice the pool water is not
looking as clean, or the pressure remains high, it may be beneficial to purchase a new filter
cartridge.

WINTERISING THE FILTER

To protect the filter and connecting piping from damage due to freezing conditions follow the procedure
below.
1. Turn off the pump and disconnect from the power supply as per pump instructions.
2. Loosen the air release valve on top of the filter to release pressure from the system.
3. Undo the half union at the base of the filter to drain the water from the filter.
4. Drain the piping of all water.
5. Protect the filter from the weather.
