Care, installation tips, and longevity
- Before first use, rinse the cartridge under cool running water to remove any loose debris and prepare the media for optimal flow.
- Ensure the bottom connection threads are clean and dry, then thread the cartridge securely into place to prevent leaks.
- Periodically inspect for wear or strong reduction in water flow; rinse as needed and replace when filtration efficiency declines or the cartridge shows signs of deterioration.
- Keep a spare on hand to minimize downtime, especially in high-usage spa installations where filtration demands are constant.
