Installation Notes
Before replacing the cartridge, turn off the spa pump and isolate power. Remove the older cartridge by unscrewing from the filter housing. Clean the housing interior of debris, install the new PMA40L-F2M-M cartridge by threading it into place with hand-tight fit, restore circulation, and monitor filter gauge pressure to ensure proper flow restoration.
Maintenance Tip
Clean the cartridge every 4-8 weeks depending on use and water condition. Replace the cartridge annually (or sooner if water flow decreases or pressure rises). Using the antimicrobial version helps maintain clearer spa water and can reduce the frequency of deeper chemical treatments.
