Pool Filter Maintenance Guide
-
Rinse After Every Use: Remove cartridges and rinse thoroughly with a garden hose after each cleaning cycle. This prevents debris from hardening on the filter media.
-
Deep Clean Monthly: Soak cartridges in a filter cleaning solution (diluted muriatic acid or commercial filter cleaner) for 2-4 hours monthly to dissolve oils, sunscreen residue, and mineral deposits.
-
Rotate Cartridges: With a 4-pack, keep two in the cleaner and two clean and drying. Rotate after each cleaning cycle to extend the life of all four cartridges equally.
-
Inspect Media Regularly: Check for thinning, tears, or reduced filtration performance. Replace individual cartridges when the media shows visible wear.
-
Proper Drying: Allow cartridges to dry completely between uses to prevent mold and mildew growth on the filter media.
Installation Guide
-
Retrieve Cleaner: Remove the robotic pool cleaner from the pool and place on a flat surface.
-
Open Bottom Cover: Release the bottom access cover — typically secured by clips or a latch mechanism on the underside.
-
Remove Old Cartridges: Slide out the existing filter cartridges. Note their orientation for reference.
-
Clean Interior: Wipe down the filter compartment interior to remove any debris that bypassed the cartridges.
-
Install New Cartridges: Slide the new RCX70101 cartridges into the filter slots. Ensure they are fully seated and properly aligned.
-
Close Cover: Secure the bottom cover. Verify it is fully latched before returning the cleaner to the pool.
FAQ
Q: How often should I replace the filter cartridges?
A: With regular rinsing after each use, each cartridge lasts 3-6 months depending on pool debris load, frequency of use, and water chemistry. This 4-pack provides up to 2 years of coverage with proper rotation between cleanings.
Q: Can I clean these instead of replacing them?
A: Yes! Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose after each use. For deeper cleaning, soak in a filter cleaning solution monthly. Replace individual cartridges when the filter material shows signs of wear, thinning, or reduced filtration performance.
Q: Will these fit my Hayward SharkVac?
A: Yes. These cartridges are compatible with the entire Hayward robotic cleaner lineup — TigerShark, TigerShark QC, AquaVac, AquaVac QC, SharkVac, and SharkVac XL.
Q: How do these compare to OEM Hayward cartridges?
A: These iFJF cartridges are manufactured to match OEM dimensions and filtration performance. They are a direct functional equivalent — identical fit, comparable filtration, significantly better value when purchased in the 4-pack.
