Installing the new FC-2540 involves placing the filter in the housing, ensuring a snug fit, and then reassembling the unit.
Regular maintenance of the Super Pro FC-2540 includes periodic cleaning, usually every few weeks during heavy usage periods. This involves removing the cartridge and rinsing it with a garden hose to dislodge accumulated debris.
