Troubleshooting
CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up of
dirt and oil. To check or clean the filter, follow the steps
below.
Cleaning the Basket:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Pull the Filter Door
(24) towards you
until it is fully open.
3. Reach into the
Basket (22) with four
fingers and pull the
Basket towards you
until it snaps free.
4. Lift the Basket out of
the housing by
pulling on the handle
on the far side and
turning the Basket
towards you.
5. Clean the Basket by
spraying it with a
garden hose or hold-
ing it under a faucet.
Avoid hitting the Basket against objects to
clean it, since this may break the basket.
6. Put the Basket back into the housing and press
down until it snaps into place.
7. Close the Filter Door.
Cleaning the Filter Cartridges:
1. Follow steps one
through four above
to remove the
Basket.
2. Reach into the hous-
ing and turn the
Diverter Valve (32)
until it is fully open.
3. Stick two fingers into
the holes in the Diverter (21) and lift the Diverter
and the top Filter Cartridge (10) directly upwards
until the edge of the Diverter clears the housing.
Then turn the Diverter towards you and pull it out.
In this process, the Diverter may come out of the
Filter Cartridge. If this happens, reach into the
housing and lift the Filter Cartridge out.
4. Remove the lower Filter Cartridge (10).
5. Clean the Filter Cartridges with a garden hose or
under a faucet. Spray from the top to the bottom of
each pleat. To avoid damage to the Cartridges,
do not use a brush to clean them.
6. To remove body oils or sun tan lotions, soak the
Cartridges in a cleaning solution which can be
obtained from a pool and spa supply store.
7. Inspect the Filter Cartridges for damage. Replace
the Cartridge if there is any sign of damage.
8. Put one Filter Cartridge back in the filter housing.
9. Push the tube on the Diverter into the other Filter
Cartridge as far as it will go. Place the top Filter
Cartridge back in the housing.
10. Put the Basket back into the housing and press
down until it snaps into place. Close the Filter
Door.
ADJUSTING THE DIVERTER
The diverter regulates the flow of water to the filter in
order to make the pump run smoothly. Start by leaving
the valve wide open. If the pump runs smoothly, no
further adjustment will be necessary.
If the pump begins to cavitate (if you hear a cracking
sound or if the speed of the pump surges up and
down), turn the valve slightly to reduce water flow.
Keep adjusting the valve in small increments until the
pump runs smoothly.
