How will replacing my spa filter help performance?

A fresh cartridge removes trapped oils, debris and fine particles the old element no longer captures, which improves pump flow and reduces strain on the circulation system. Cleaner water also helps sanitizer perform more effectively and can limit the buildup of visible residue on shell and plumbing.

• Restores designed flow rates for consistent circulation
• Reduces debris in plumbing and heater components
• Helps sanitizer work more predictably by removing contaminants

What should I check when installing the 73722 cartridge?

Before installing, shut down power and relieve any pressure in the spa system. Inspect the filter housing for cracks or worn seals, and ensure the cartridge seats correctly — a proper seal prevents unfiltered water bypassing the element.

• Power off the spa and open the filter housing carefully
• Remove old cartridge and clean housing and cover gasket
• Insert new 73722 cartridge fully and check for good seal and orientation

How often should I replace or clean this filter cartridge?

Replacement frequency depends on usage, bather load and water chemistry; generally inspect and rinse the cartridge every 2–4 weeks and replace it annually or when pleats appear fouled or damaged. Heavy use or poor water balance can shorten service life, while gentle use and regular cleaning extend it.

• Rinse cartridge with a hose every 2–4 weeks
• Deep-soak in cleaner monthly for high-use spas
• Replace the cartridge yearly or when visibly worn
