Installation Notes
Turn off the pool pump and relieve system pressure. Open the filter tank, remove the old cartridge element, and inspect the tank interior and seals. Install the new PA200S cartridge, ensuring proper alignment of top and bottom openings and full seating in the manifold. Reassemble the filter, restore circulation, and monitor system pressure to confirm normal operating range.
Maintenance Tip
Rinse the cartridge periodically to maintain performance. If cleaning no longer restores normal pressure or media pleats appear worn or collapsed, replace with a new PA200S to maintain water clarity and extend filter life.
