Q: What's the benefit of a depth-load filter?

A: It traps finer particles like lotions, oils, and cosmetics before they reach the main circulation system, reducing chemical demand and improving water clarity.

Turn off power to your spa before removing the existing filter assembly.

Unscrew and lift out the old ProClarity filter housing from the filter well.

Detach used cartridges (pleated and depth-load) and dispose of the depth-load filter.

Rinse and reinstall the pleated filter (or replace if needed), insert a new depth-load filter.

Secure cartridges inside the new 2472‑234 filter housing using the retaining clip.

Lower the entire assembly into the spa’s filter compartment and screw into place.

Turn spa power back on and run a clean cycle to verify proper filtration.
