Filter Cleaning And Replacement

Updated on Sep 22, 2025

Filters should be cleaned at least once per week, but as a rule wash them thoroughly with a garden hose anytime filters start to look brown in colour like in this video:

Filters should be replaced WITH NEW EVERY 4-6 WEEKS. Filters older than this may appear clean but the paper pleats will begin to break down, restricting flow and likely causing heating errors or flow errors to appear on your touchpad/smart control.                             

RECYCLING FILTERS WILL EVENTUALLY NOT WORK AND WILL CAUSE ISSUES WITH YOUR SYSTEM

Good practice is to skim any hair, lint, leaves etc out of the pool as soon as you see it and to turn off the heater/filter when removing the filter to clean or replace it. This avoids inadvertently sucking any debris through the system.

Debris unknowingly sucked inside the control unit can interfere with the inlet and outlet flow switches, as seen below, and will result in flow errors.
