Warnings and Disclaimers
- Pressure Hazard: Shut off pump and bleed air pressure via the relief valve before opening filter housing to prevent potential serious injury.
- Compatibility: This cartridge fits 75 sq. ft. housings only; check length (18-1/8") to avoid confusion with the 100 sq. ft. (FC-0686) model.
- Chemical Usage: Do not place sanitizer tablets in the filter canister. High chemical concentrations can damage the [polyurethane end caps](https://voomisupply.com) and media.
- Non-Backwashable: This is a cartridge filter; attempting to backwash the system will likely rupture the polyester fibers.
Pro Tips
- Cleaning Threshold: Clean the cartridge when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI above the "clean" starting pressure.
- Deep Cleaning: Use a specialized [filter cleaning solution](https://www.amazon.com) seasonally to remove accumulated body oils and mineral scale.
- Structural Integrity: The [reinforced PVC core](https://www.wildwestpoolsupplies.com) is designed to prevent pleat collapse under high flow conditions.
- Maintenance Cycle: Typical replacement is every 1-2 seasons, though heavy bather loads or high algae environments may require more frequent replacement.
