Setup

Before installing the filter cartridge, ensure your pool pump system is turned off and disconnected from power. Refer to your specific Intex filter pump owner's manual for detailed safety instructions and pump-specific setup procedures.

1. Prepare the Pump: Locate the filter housing on your Intex pump. Depending on your model, you may need to unscrew a retaining ring or open a latch to access the cartridge compartment.
2. Remove Old Cartridge (if applicable): If replacing an old cartridge, carefully remove it and dispose of it properly.
3. Insert New Cartridge: Place the new Intex Type B filter cartridge into the filter housing. Ensure it sits securely and correctly within the compartment.
4. Secure the Housing: Close and secure the filter housing. Tighten any retaining rings or latches firmly to prevent leaks.
5. Release Air: Before starting the pump, open the air release valve(s) on the pump system. This allows air to escape as water fills the filter housing, preventing airlocks. Close the valves once a steady stream of water emerges.
6. Connect Power: Once the cartridge is installed and the housing is sealed, reconnect your pump to the power supply.

Operating the Filter System

The Intex Type B filter cartridge works in conjunction with your Intex filter pump to circulate and clean your pool water. Once installed, the pump draws water through the cartridge, where impurities are trapped by the pleated Dacron media, and then returns clean water to the pool.

• Ensure the pump is running for an adequate amount of time daily to maintain water clarity, typically 8-12 hours depending on pool size and usage.
• Monitor the water flow from your pump's return jet. A reduced flow may indicate a dirty filter cartridge.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Intex Type B filter cartridge is crucial for optimal pool water quality and pump longevity.

1. Regular Cleaning: For extended life and efficiency, hose down the fabric of the filter cartridge regularly to remove trapped debris. This can be done every few days, depending on pool usage and debris levels.
2. Replacement Schedule: Replace each filter cartridge every 2 weeks for peak pump performance and consistent water clarity. While cleaning extends life, regular replacement ensures the best filtration.
3. Storage: If storing the pump and filter for an extended period, ensure the cartridge is thoroughly cleaned and dried before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
