How to Properly Remove & Clean Cartridge Filter

  • Rotate valve between the Pressure Pump and Cartridge Filter Housing to the “Off” Position
  • Open the Drain Valve at the bottom of the Cartridge Filter Housing to drain the filter housing so the Pressure is Zero
    • Note: DO NOT PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL NO WATER IS FLOWING OUT OF THE CARTRIDGE FILTER HOUSING – THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PRESSURE INSIDE OF THE CARTRIDGE FILTER HOUSING
  • Remove the Filter Housing Clamp using a ½” Wrench
  • Remove the ESD Reusable Cartridge Filter (ESD Part #: 4019)
  • Clean the Cartridge Filter pleats with a garden hose
    • Note: Do not use a pressure washer to clean – it will rip the polyester filter and will need to be replaced
  • Clean the Cartridge Filter until all of the pleats have the material removed
  • Re-install Cartridge Filter into Cartridge Filter Housing
  • Re-install Cartridge Filter Lid and Clamp – tighten clamp
  • Rotate valve between the Pressure Pump and Cartridge Filter Housing to the “On” Position
  • Inspect Cartridge Filter Housing for leaks
