Installation & Usage Notes
Before using the wand, shut off the filter pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the filter cover and elements if needed to gain access. Connect the wand to a garden hose and insert the spray tip into the filter tank opening or element area. Activate the hose and direct the jet into the media, moving slowly to flush across the surface. After cleaning, re-install the elements, re-assemble the filter cover, purge air, and restore circulation.
Maintenance Tips
- Use whenever filter pressure rises unusually fast, or water clarity begins to degrade—this indicates the media may be fouled.
- Store the wand in a dry, safe location when not in use to prevent damage to the adapter and spray tip.
- Inspect the hose adapter and spray tip for clogging or wear after repeated use—replace if spray pattern becomes erratic.

Incorporating the EC2024 Cleaning Wand into your service inventory or retail catalog offers a simple, effective way to help customers maintain filter performance and extend the life of their media.
