Component Overview

Installation Steps
- Placement: Position the filter unit on a stable, level surface near your pool pump. Ensure adequate space for maintenance and access.
- Plumbing Connections: Connect the pool pump's discharge line to the filter's inlet port and the filtered water return line to the pool's return jet. The filter features 2-inch inlet and outlet connections. Use appropriate PVC piping and fittings, ensuring all connections are watertight.
- Pressure Gauge Installation: The filter unit includes a built-in pressure gauge on the top. This gauge provides real-time monitoring of the internal pressure, which is vital for determining when the filter needs cleaning.
- Initial Fill: Before starting the pump, ensure the filter tank is filled with water. This prevents air from being trapped in the system, which can damage the pump.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, operating your XtremepowerUS Cartridge Filter is simple. The system works by drawing water from the pool, passing it through the filter cartridge, and returning clean water to the pool.
Starting the System
- Ensure all valves are open to allow water flow to and from the filter.
- Turn on your pool pump. The filter will begin processing water immediately.
- Observe the pressure gauge. Note the initial clean operating pressure. This baseline pressure is important for future maintenance.
Filtration Performance
This filter is capable of filtering dirt particles as small as 10-15 microns. With a flow rate of 150 gallons per minute (GPM), it efficiently cleans pools up to 35,000 gallons. For optimal water clarity, run your filter system for at least 8-12 hours daily, or as recommended by your pool professional.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your cartridge filter is essential to maintain water quality and extend the life of your equipment.
Cleaning the Filter Cartridge
- When to Clean: Monitor the pressure gauge. When the pressure rises 8-10 PSI above the clean operating pressure, or if water flow significantly decreases, it's time to clean the cartridge.
- Procedure:
- Turn off the pool pump and close all necessary valves to isolate the filter.
- Open the air relief valve on top of the filter to release any pressure.
- Unscrew the top of the filter housing.
- Carefully remove the filter cartridge.
- Rinse the cartridge thoroughly with a garden hose, paying attention to the pleats to remove all trapped debris. For stubborn dirt or oils, use a specialized filter cleaning solution.
- Inspect the cartridge for any damage.
- Reinsert the clean cartridge, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Replace the filter top, ensuring the O-ring is clean and properly seated. Tighten securely.
- Open all valves, then turn on the pump. Open the air relief valve until a steady stream of water emerges, then close it.
