Hayward Star-Clear™ Plus Model: ALL MODELS - Page 5

CLEANING CARTRIDGE The cartridge filter element can be cleaned by pressure washing inside and out with a garden hose. (The cartridge is easier to clean when dry.) After hosing the cartridge, for best results, allow cartridge to dry and carefully brush pleated surface areas to remove fine particles. Do not pressure wash, as it can damage the filter element. Algae, suntan oil and body oils can form a coating on the cartridge pleats which may not be thoroughly removed by hosing. To remove such materials, soak the cartridge in a solution of filter element cleaner (various brands available at pool dealer). Follow manufacturer's directions for use and allow an hour for soaking. Hose thoroughly before reinstalling in filter. A spare cartridge filter element is an excellent investment. It provides convenience and ensures that your filter will always be ready to operate at peak efficiency. 1.
