Installation Notes
Turn off pump and relieve pressure before opening the filter tank. Remove the old cartridge element and inspect the tank for wear or debris. Insert the new CX800RE element into the tank, ensure correct orientation and full seating. Reassemble and secure the tank lid, restore circulation, and monitor initial pressure to confirm proper installation.
Maintenance Tip
Clean the element periodically ("rinse and backwash" method) and replace it when rinsing no longer restores acceptable operating pressure. A fresh cartridge helps maintain flow, clarity and equipment life.
