Cleanthe filter by separating the folds of the filter and sprayingwith fresh water from a garden hose; then re-install thecartridge in the housing and replace the basket, reversingthe above procedure.Oils will coat the filters, resulting in a reduced flow. Toremove such materials, soak the cartridges in a plasticpail containing a commercial filter cleaning solution(available from your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer ormost spa supply stores). Follow the manufacturer’sinstructions for use. Another method is to soak the filtercartridges in a plastic pail containing a mild solution of trisodiumphosphate (TSP) and water. An hour of soakingtime is usually required to break down oil coatings fromthe cartridge. Use a stronger solution of TSP and waterto remove algae. Most hardware or paint stores stockTSP. Use the same method of cleaning when cartridgesbecome plugged with clay or vegetation.Replacement cartridges are available through yourJacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer.13
