The Waterway PCCF-150 ProClean Plus is a single-cartridge filtration system designed for in-ground pools that need strong flow,
easy servicing, and efficient debris capture without the mess of D.E. powder or the frequent backwashing of sand.

What This Filter Does
- Captures dirt, dust, pollen, and fine debris to keep water clear and reduce load on sanitizers.
- Supports strong circulation with fewer interruptions compared to filters that require frequent backwashing.
- Protects downstream equipment by reducing debris passing through to heaters, salt systems, and return fittings.
When to Clean or Replace
- Clean the cartridge when filter pressure rises about 810 PSI over your clean starting pressure.
- Replace the cartridge if pleats are torn, bands are broken, end caps are cracked, or performance stays poor after deep cleaning.
- If flow remains weak after cleaning, inspect for scale/oils on the media and perform a proper soak/degrease cycle.
Installation Notes
- Install on a level equipment pad with adequate clearance above the lid for cartridge removal.
- Use properly supported plumbing to prevent stress on unions and tank ports.
- After startup, bleed air using the air relief and confirm the pressure gauge reads a stable clean pressure baseline.
- Verify all unions and drain fittings are watertight before leaving the system running unattended.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the cartridge thoroughly from top to bottom between pleats; rotate the element to clean evenly.
- Deep clean periodically to remove oils (body oils/sunscreen) and scale; rinse fully before reinstalling.
- Inspect lid and drain O-rings each service and lubricate lightly with pool-safe silicone lubricant.
- Record your clean starting pressurethis is the best indicator of when cleaning is needed.
