Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your Intex Type B Replacement Filter Cartridge. These cartridges are designed for efficient filtration in Intex swimming pool filter pumps, ensuring clean and clear water.
The Intex filter cartridges feature a thicker, heavier Dacron paper for more efficient filtration and to keep your pool clean and clear all season long.
Setup
Before installing the new filter cartridge, ensure your filter pump is turned off and disconnected from the power source.
- Open the filter pump housing.
- Remove the old filter cartridge.
- Insert the new Intex Type B filter cartridge into the pump housing, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Securely close the filter pump housing.
- Reconnect the pump to the power source.

Operation
Once the filter cartridge is installed, turn on your filter pump. The pump will begin circulating water through the filter, removing debris and impurities.
For optimal filtration, ensure the pump runs for several hours daily, depending on pool size and usage. Refer to your pump's specific manual for recommended operating times.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and replacement of the filter cartridge are crucial for maintaining water quality and pump efficiency.
Cleaning the Filter Cartridge
Intex recommends periodically hosing down the filter cartridge to remove accumulated debris.
- Turn off and unplug the filter pump.
- Open the filter housing and carefully remove the cartridge.
- Use a garden hose with a strong spray to rinse debris from the pleats of the filter. Work from top to bottom.
- Continue rinsing until the water runs clear and visible debris is removed.
- Reinstall the cleaned cartridge or replace it with a new one if necessary.

Replacing the Filter Cartridge
Intex recommends replacing this filter cartridge as often as every 2 weeks for peak pump performance and to keep your water clean and crystal clear.
To replace, follow the same steps as cleaning, but insert a new cartridge instead of the cleaned one.
