filter Care
We cannot stress enough the importance of a clean filter for proper water fil-
tration. Dirty filters can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and prevent your
chemicals from working properly. Dirty filters can also cause low flow from
jets, poor water clarity and sensors to activate error codes. It is important to
clean filters regularly. Many water treatment products clear or clarify the water
by clumping microscopic particles and minerals together so that these larger
particles can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter clogged with debris and
calcium deposits does not trap particles properly. Treat your filter cartridge
with Filter Cartridge Cleaner monthly.
removing the filter
Turn off the vessel breaker. Grasp the edge of the Vortex skimmer lid, pull up
firmly, but gently, to remove it.
Turn the filter cartridge counterclockwise to unscrew it from its base. Lift out
the filter cartridge.
Use a hose to clean the filter cartridge and Filter Cleaner to treat the filters.
noTe:
Keep an extra filter on hand so you always have a clean one ready for
immediate vessel enjoyment. Remember to replace the filter cartridge at least
once a year.
reinstalling the filter (Marquis Atv)
Repeat the steps above in reverse. Do not overtighten the filter as it may
cause the threads on the bottom to strip and fail to hold the filter in place.
(See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridges.)
CAution:
Overtightening of the filter can cause the filter or filter housing to
crack. Tighten filter until it is just snug.
noTe:
Filters and filter lids do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can
be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis

dealer.
leakage Detection
Open the equipment door and check for signs of water leakage around the
pump(s). Pump seals wear out over time, especially with improper water
chemistry. Early detection of pump seal failure can significantly reduce repair
costs. Pump seals, heater gaskets and pump gaskets must be checked each
month to ensure they are not leaking. Further damage caused by a leak from
any component is not covered under the warranty.
