The cartridge uses melt spun polypropylene filtration media with effective removal to 5 microns and is designed to float during fills for continuous filtration.

Highlights

• Filtration rating 5 micron melt spun media for fine particulate removal
• Reduces minerals including calcium iron and magnesium to help prevent scale and staining
• Improves chemical efficiency for faster and more stable balancing after filling
• Garden hose ready quick attach to any standard garden hose no tools required
• Safe for all surfaces suitable for vinyl fiberglass and plaster pool and spa finishes
• Disposable intended for single or limited use during fills replace when flow decreases

How to use

1. Attach the cartridge to a standard garden hose until secure
2. Place the cartridge in the pool or spa and begin filling
3. Allow the cartridge to float so water passes through the media continuously during the fill
4. Monitor the fill flow rate and remove the cartridge when water flow decreases indicating the media is loaded

Choosing the right cartridge

Select the cartridge size that matches your fill volume and water quality needs. Smaller cartridges are convenient for spas topping off and small above ground pools while larger cartridges are better for in ground pools and large fills. If your source water has heavy sediment or high mineral content choose the larger capacity option for longer life during a single fill.

Care and disposal

Replace the cartridge when water flow slows noticeably do not attempt to clean and reuse beyond what the manufacturer recommends. Dispose of used cartridges in household waste according to local regulations.

What to expect after use

Expect improved water clarity reduced staining risk and more efficient chemical balancing after using a pre fill cartridge. Using this product before adding salt or balancing chemicals is especially helpful for saltwater systems because it reduces mineral content that can interfere with salt generation and sanitizer performance.
