XStream™ Filtration Series Preventative Maintenance (cont.) Cleaning Cartridge Filter (cont.) To remove algae, suntan oil, and body oils: Soak the cartridge element for at least one (1) hour (overnight is most effective) in: 1) a commercial filter cleaner; OR 2) One (1) cup Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) to five (5) gallons water; OR 3) One (1) cup dishwasher detergent to five (5) gallons water. Rinse cartridge element to remove oils and cleaning solution. To remove calcium carbonate (residue from calcium hypochlorite), iron, or other mineral deposits: Soak the cartridge element in a solution of one (1) part Muriatic Acid to twenty (20) parts water, until all bubbling stops. WARNING - Do NOT add water to acid. WARNING - Do NOT mix chlorine and acid. WARNING - Use a plastic container and take extreme care - harmful to eyes, skin, and clothing. Always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. CAUTION - Failure to remove all oils and cleaning solution before acid soaking will result in a permanent restriction of water flow and cause premature cartridge failure. 3. Rinse the cartridge element clean and re-assemble filter housing. Vacuuming Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter whenever needed. For fastest results, clean the filter before and after each vacuuming. For heavy spring clean ups, we recommend using a Hayward SP0727 diverter valve to bypass the filter and accelerate the clean up process. Consult your local Hayward dealer for a detailed explanation. Winterization In areas where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be drained and/or removed from its operating location and stored indoors. Clean the cartridge element at the end of the pool season by using the Hayward Jet-action Cleaning Wand (EC2024) or a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle (See "Cleaning Cartridge Filter" instructions in this manual).
