Operating Instructions
Once installed, the filter cartridge operates automatically with your Intex filter pump. The pump circulates pool water through the cartridge, which traps dirt and debris. For optimal water clarity, ensure your pump runs for several hours each day, as recommended by your pool's specific requirements.

Replacement Schedule
For best results and to maintain optimal filtration efficiency, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge with a new one every two weeks. Frequent replacement prevents clogging and ensures your pump operates effectively.
