Hayward XStream 150 Square-Foot Cartridge Filter

Installing the Hayward XStream Cartridge Filter

This pool filter should be situated in a safe location that avoids direct and harsh exposure to inclement weather. While it is intended for outdoor use, it is particularly important to protect any electrical components from the elements.

Ensure that the mounting platform is level and keep the filter lock ring, drain outlet and pressure gauge accessible for convenient operation. For optimal performance, make sure that the pump is located below the swimming pool water line.

Maintaining the Hayward XStream Cartridge Filter

The Hayward XStream Cartridge filter is one of easiest cartridge filters to maintain. The cartridge inside the filter tank should be rinsed at least 1-2 times weekly, depending on weather, and bather loads. The cleaner you keep this filter cartridge, the cleaner your pool water will be during the season. These filter cartridges can last 2-3 seasons, depending on how well they are taken care of.

You will know it is time to clean the cartridge when the pressure gauge rises more than 10 PSI. When you are ready to clean the cartridge, shut off the pool pump and shut-off valves (if applicable). Once the water running to the filter is shut off, simply drain the tank, un screw the filter locking ring, remove the cartridge, and rinse it thoroughly.
