Installation Notes
Turn off the pump and relieve filter pressure. Remove the filter tank top, lift out the old cartridge element. Clean all interior surfaces of the filter housing and check O-rings and gaskets for wear. Insert the new FC-1292 cartridge ensuring full seat and alignment. Re-assemble the tank, restore circulation, and monitor initial pressure to confirm proper installation.
Maintenance Tip
Clean periodically by rinsing, soaking in filter cleaner if needed, rinsing again, and allowing to fully dry before reinstall. Replace the cartridge when rinsing no longer restores acceptable pressure or flow, or when the element shows discoloration, torn media, or broken end caps.
