Installation & Use Notes
Remove the old grid assembly from the filter tank, clean the tank thoroughly, and ensure the tank O-ring is in good condition. Insert the complete new assembly, making sure the manifold seats correctly. Reassemble the tank and recharge with the proper amount of D.E. powder. This restores filtration efficiency, improves water clarity, and helps maintain proper system pressure.
Maintenance Tips
- Backwash and clean the grid assembly as recommended, but replace it when grids show tears, fraying, or heavy deformation.
- Inspect the manifold and tie rods regularly to ensure all parts remain secure.
- Replace the tank O-ring if you experience any leaks during reassembly.
