Operating Principles

The Intex Type A filter cartridge works by trapping debris and impurities as water from your pool passes through its Dacron paper pleats. This continuous filtration process helps maintain water clarity and hygiene. The filter pump circulates the pool water, drawing it through the cartridge and returning clean water to the pool.

Maintenance

For maximum efficiency and optimal performance of your filter pump, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every two weeks. Regular cleaning of the cartridge can extend its life, but replacement is crucial for effective filtration.

Cleaning the Cartridge

To clean the cartridge, remove it from the pump as described in the Setup & Installation section. Use a garden hose with strong pressure to rinse off accumulated dirt and debris from the pleats. Ensure all visible dirt is removed. If the cartridge remains discolored or damaged after cleaning, it should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

If your pool water appears cloudy or the pump's flow rate decreases significantly, it may indicate a clogged or worn-out filter cartridge. Consider the following steps:

• Check Cartridge Cleanliness: Remove and thoroughly clean the filter cartridge. If it's still dirty or damaged, replace it with a new one.
• Verify Pump Connections: Ensure all hoses and connections to the filter pump are secure and free of leaks. Air leaks can reduce pump efficiency.
• Maintain Water Levels: Ensure the pool water level is adequate for the pump to operate effectively.
• Inspect for Debris: Check the pump's strainer basket for large debris that might be obstructing water flow.
