AUTOMATIC FILTER CLEANER INSTRUCTIONS

Blaster 1000 Automatic Spa Filter Cleaner

Congratulations on purchasing the BLASTER 1000™ Automatic Filter Cleaner. Cleaning your dirty pool filter will now be a whole lot easier. Taking just a few minutes, the BLASTER 1000™ will clean your filter by automatically rotating it while PowerJets blast focused water to clean the filter pleats. The BLASTER 1000™ is designed to accommodate cartridge filters up to 20” in length.
Follow the steps below to get started:

Connect Hose
Attach a garden hose to the swivel nut hose fitting.
Turn the swivel nut counter-clockwise to tighten.
Add Nozzle Covers (If needed)
Attach nozzle covers to close off unneeded PowerJets. This will also increase the pressure available to the remaining PowerJets.
Use firm pressure to press the nozzle cover on from directly above the PowerJet nozzle.
Place Filter
Place your dirty filter on the center support rods as shown.
Make sure the flanges of the filter are resting on the center support rods.
Add Spray Covers (If needed)
Attach spray covers as needed to block the spray from coming from the area not covered by your filter.
Attach the spray covers to the top outer frame tubes. Leave unused spray covers on the bottom frame tubes.
Turn Water On
Turn the water on at the spigot and gradually open to full pressure.
The water will spray from the PowerJets, and your filter will begin to rotate.
The Cleaning Begins
The BLASTER 1000™ will now automatically clean your filter. The process normally takes between 3 – 8 minutes depending on how dirty your filter is.
When no more debris is seen in the runoff water your filter is clean.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Spray Power Insufficient| If there is insufficient pressure coming from the PowerJets, try closing off some PowerJets by adding more nozzle covers (Step 2). This will increase the water pressure available to the remaining PowerJets.
---|---
If the flow rate is too low try using a different faucet where the water pressure might be higher. Typically, faucets near the front of the house or main line have better flow rates.
If the flow rate is too low try using a different faucet where the water pressure might be higher. Typically, faucets near the front of the house or main line have better flow rates.
Filter Does Not Rotate| Check to see that your filter has round flanges. Flanges that have other geometrical shapes or flanges that have handle tabs will not rotate.
Make sure all filter pleats are wet first. A dry filter will get soaked on one side first and the unbalanced weight can prevent the filter from making a complete a rotation.
Heavy filters might have difficulty properly gripping the support rods. If the support rods are turning and the filter is not rotating, try using grip sleeves (not included with the Blaster 1000). Call Neoterics for support.
Water leaks during use| It is normal to observe some water escaping from around the support rods – the unit design allows for this and it will not affect the performance. With higher water pressures some water may also escape from around other seals and the main housing, but this too will not affect the unit’s performance.
Water stays in device| There is a small drain hole in the bottom of the main housing to help drain the water left in the unit after use. You can turn the nozzles down on the PowerJet to drain the water more quickly. However, there will always be some water that remains in the device after use.
