Our theme for today is basic spa maintenance. When cleaning your filter, the first thing to check is whether the filter needs cleaned. Find out what the pressure is with your filter when it is cleaned and it needs to be cleaned about 8 psi after that. If your filter is 10 psi then it needs be cleaned when your filter reaches 18. What you want to do is to go ahead and turn off your pump if it is on and when dealing with the filter you want to be extremely cautious and bleed the air out. As you bleed, if you do not bleed it out the pressure will accumulate and it is dangerous. This time I am going to turn on the filter again and bleed my filter. Once I see the water coming out I know that the water inside the manifold filter is all the way to the top. At that time I can go ahead and start unscrewing my filter. There are several different methods of popping out the cover. At this point we will go ahead and use a rubber mallet to shake it up just a little bit and pop it out. Any time you take off the cover in the filter you need to check the o ring, check the lubricant in the o ring and just generally inspect the whole canister of the filter. Here is an example of a cartridge filter. At this point we won't be changing the filter; we just checked the manifold and lubricating it so we won't be needing to actually remove that filter. This is an example of what the filter looks like when it is actually removed.
