take top off filter clean fingers and rinse out filter leave filter drain open, i usually re-assemble loosely untill spring start up. leave no water in filter, i live where filter stays outside all winter long and is exposed to snow and freezing temperatures. i also cover it with a tarp for added protection, it will be fine for spring start up.

Living in the Northeast, we drain our pump and filter, clean the fingers in the filter then store all in the basement for the winter.

Never bothered to do anything other than make sure all the water has been drained out of the unit and leave the drain plug out. Sits in the garage over the winter and it easily goes below freezing during the colder months. Never had an issue in over 20+ years.

Loosen large nut that connects filter to pump. Remove valve or plug on bottom of filter allowing all water to drain. Disconnect return hose from top of filter. This will free up the tank to place inside. I normally remove all stainless bolts, washers and nuts and pull the top off the filter and clean all old earth from the fingers. Let dry before placing top back onto filter. You're now ready for next season startup.

You do not need the filters to get ice or cold water. Just reset the filter and reuse it. However Amazon is so low in cost get the 2filters at less than half of the company charge. I even got free shipping..GO AMAZON!!!!!

There is a finger loop on the filter on the back side of the heater. Just pull gently away from the heater and the plastic filter assembly pops out. Clean by washing with dish soapy water, or brushing. At the end of each heating season, I like to clean the 5 ceramic discs by blowing air through the front of the heater. No need to remove the discs-just remove the dust filter. To re-install, insert the bottom of the plastic filter assembly into the heater housing then snap in the top ( where the finger loop is) into place.

Your old filter should have a removable insert with threads that you can take off and put on the new one

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

Filter is not washable. I added a charcoal pre-filter to extend the life of the filer. You can buy in bulk on amazon. And cut to fit the backing of your original filter. And use some duck tape to hold it down. Works excellent and the stuff is cheap.

once a year......at the end of the season you are using it to put humidity into the air. What I do is after winter is over, clean the unit real well and then install a new filter. Next time I use it......it's ready to go ~~

I check the filter after the winter heating season and at the end of summer. Depending on use, I change filters once or twice a year.

The unit requires an electrical plug and " tubing to a water supply. If you remove the top lid there is a " quick connect to a small section of white " tubing that runs out the back of the unit. I removed that piece and replaced it with a long section that I ran to a RO water filter. You could go to a hardware store and get some " icemaker tubing and a fitting to splice it between a cold water shutoff and the supply line of a nearby faucet. Placing a water filter in the line is optional but there is no filter in the unit.

Have you soaked it in cold water for 15 minutes and then scrub it ? Thats what the directions say. Also I know there are some phony filters out there. Where did you get it ? You need to call the filter company if you have tried soaking it etc and they can send you a good one. Hope this helps you.

You would need to remove the "cell" and then the filter is exposed. Try using a small screwdriver or knife, slide into filter, lift up and out.

I packed up the pump and stored it indoors for the winter. The freezing and thawing will not be good for the unit.

Yes, but mine has run all winter, usually 6 - 8 hours a day, and the check filter light hasn't come on. The filter looks a little dirty, but nothing major.

fill your sink with enough warm water to cover the filter, put a few drops of liquid detergent in it swish the filter in it several times and lay on a fluffy towel until dry.

I don't believe you are supposed to as it will shorten the life of the filter. If you do, be sure to run cold water immediately after so as not to provide a nice environment for bacteria, algae, etc.
