19. IMPORTANT DO’S & DON’TS
DO’s:
1. Be aware and make note of the lter pressure when the CottonTails
TM
are clean. Remove and clean
the CottonTails
TM
when they appear dirty or the water ow from the pool’s return tting seems low.
2. Protect the tank’s internal plumbing while cleaning the CottonTails
TM
.
3. Follow these cleaning instructions:
• Drain the water from the lter tank, remove the tank lid from the tank while leaving the hoses
attached to the lid
• Empty the CottonTail
TM
balls onto a smooth surface such as a plastic tarp.
• Rinse excess dirt and debris from the CottonTails
TM
.
• If still dirty, place the rinsed balls into a mesh laundry bag and wash in your washer.
• Return the cleaned CottonTails
TM
to the lter tank. It is okay if they are wet or dry.
• Reassemble the lter tank lid and resume ltering the pool water.
DON’TS:
1. Over clean the CottonTails
TM
. This lter media operates more efciently during mid-cycle when the
balls are a little dirty. Too much cleaning will reduce the efciency.
2. Let the lter system run dry (without water). If your pump runs dry too long, non-warranty damage
may occur. If there is damage due to dry running, the product warranty will be voided.
