Cleaning the Exterior of
the Aqua 3 3000 LED
To clean the exterior of your filter, use
a clean, damp cloth and mild, non-
abrasive dish washing soap. Rinse
thoroughly with warm water.
NOTE: Do not let the unit stand in
water as the battery compartment
could get moisture in it if left in a wet
area for too long.
Cleaning the CMF
Cartridge
Clean the CMF Cartridge whenever
the water-flow falls below an
acceptable rate. Sanitary precautions
should be taken whenever handling
soiled components of your filter. We
suggest using thin waterproof gloves.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When handling
the CMF cartridge, always hold it
gently but firmly in the center with
one hand. Never hold it by the fitted
end as it may crack or break.
1. There will be water in the filter
housing. To reduce spillage, invert
the filter over the sink.
2. While holding the base firmly,
unscrew the filter housing from
the base assembly by turning in
a clockwise direction. Drain out
the water and set the housing
aside.
3. Turn the filter base right-side up,
then remove the CMF Cartridge
from the base by pulling it up with
a twisting motion.
4. Dampen and scrub the CMF
Cartridge with a scouring pad
(included in the maintenance kit)
until the cartridge returns
to its original white color, then
rinse thoroughly with cold water.
