Installation & care tips
- Power down your filtration system before handling the cartridge. Remove the old cartridge carefully and inspect the housing for debris or damage.
- Rinse the new Darlly 60521 cartridge under cool water to remove any protective factory residues and to loosen loose fibers. Do not use hot water or solvents.
- Align and insert the cartridge securely into the housing, ensuring a proper seal with the end caps. Reassemble the unit and restore power.
- Run the system and check for leaks. If performance seems reduced, inspect the cartridge seating and housing for any gaps or damage, and replace as needed.
For best results, monitor water clarity and flow, and replace the cartridge when you notice a drop in performance or after a standard maintenance cycle—especially in high-use or heavily filtered spas and pools.
