NOTE: The bioballs in your filter system and the inside surfaces of the filter box
contain the beneficial bacteria. At least once a year the entire system should
be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly using warm water. This should not be
done during the warm season as it may take up to 8 weeks to re-establish the
environmental balance. The best time of the year to "breakdown" your system is in
early spring before the water temperatures begin to rise. This is also the ideal time to
replace the filter pads.
• Reassemble all part and place in water before recoonecting to the power source.
PUMP MAINTENANCE

which it is operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in
performance is detected. Clean pump in 4 easy steps!
