Warnings and Disclaimers
- Pressure Hazard: Always shut off the pump and relieve all system pressure using the air relief valve before servicing the filter housing to prevent injury.
- Compatibility Check: Due to the specific dimensions and different sized end openings (approx. 5 13/16" and 6 1/16"), it is crucial to verify your existing filter's dimensions and the system model before purchasing to ensure a correct fit.
- Chemical Handling: Concentrated chemicals should not be placed directly in the filter canister, as this will prematurely degrade the filter media and end caps.
- Backwash Restriction: Cartridge filters cannot be backwashed. Attempting to do so can rupture the media.
Pro Tips
- Service Life: Filbur estimates the filter life to be between 6 and 12 months with normal use and proper maintenance.
- Cleaning Method: For a thorough cleaning, rinse off loose debris with a garden hose and then soak the cartridge in a dedicated filter cleaner solution overnight.
- Antimicrobial Benefit: The use of antimicrobial end caps helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew within the filter structure, which is especially beneficial in warm spa environments.
- Buy in Bulk: Keeping a spare, clean cartridge on hand allows you to alternate filters, providing ample drying time after cleaning and ensuring uninterrupted use of your spa or pool.
