How to change the cartridge in your Fisher Spas 3E
Watch the guide or follow the steps.
- 1Switch the spa off at the isolating switch before you open the filter.
- 2Remove the filter face: undo the fitting (some models have a screw, which turns anticlockwise) and lift the face off. Take out the leaf catcher.
- 3Unscrew the cartridge anticlockwise and lift it out.
- 4Rinse the cartridge with a hose, or fit a new one. Hold the clean or new cartridge under the water until the air stops bubbling out.
- 5Screw it in clockwise only until it no longer spins freely; the pump draws it in further. Refit the leaf catcher and filter face and switch the spa back on.
