Installation Instructions

1. Turn off the pump: Before beginning any maintenance, ensure your pool pump is completely turned off and unplugged from the power source to prevent accidental operation.
2. Locate the filter housing: Identify the filter housing unit connected to your pool pump system.
3. Open the filter housing: Carefully open the filter housing. This usually involves unscrewing a cap or releasing clamps. Refer to your specific pump's manual for detailed instructions on opening the housing.

Maintenance and Replacement

For optimal pool water clarity and pump efficiency, it is recommended to replace each Funsicle Type A/C Filter Cartridge every 2 weeks. Depending on pool usage and debris levels, you may rinse the cartridge between replacements to extend its effective life. However, regular replacement is crucial for maintaining peak filtration performance.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the filter cartridge for visible signs of wear, tear, or excessive clogging.
• Rinsing: To rinse a cartridge, remove it from the pump and spray it thoroughly with a garden hose to dislodge trapped debris from the pleats. Do not use high-pressure washers as they can damage the filter material.
• Replacement Schedule: Even with rinsing, the filter material will degrade over time and lose its effectiveness. Adhere to the recommended 2-week replacement schedule for best results.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Reduced Water Flow: If you notice a decrease in water flow from your pump, the filter cartridge may be clogged. Try rinsing or replacing the cartridge.
• Cloudy Pool Water: Cloudy water often indicates that the filter is not effectively removing particles. Ensure the cartridge is clean and properly installed. If the problem persists, replace the cartridge. Also, check pool chemical balance.
• Leaks from Filter Housing: If water is leaking from the filter housing, ensure the cap is securely tightened and that the O-ring or gasket is properly seated and not damaged. Replace any damaged seals.
