4. Soak the filters in water with dishwasher detergent overnight to loosen up the dirt and debris between the fins:

5. Hose it down again until filters are clean and white:

8. Check for worn out, and/or cracked O-rings and if needed, get a new replacement ring like so:

9. Install the filters by lining it up using the arrows:

10. Grease and install the new O-ring on the pump cap:
(http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b402/calibusa/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5305_zps1sh6sqjx.jpg) (http://s1040.photobucket.com/user/calibusa/media/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5305_zps1sh6sqjx.jpg.html)
11. Line the screen cup correctly before capping it:

12. Once everything is closed up, open the pressure valve to bleed air out of the system:
(http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b402/calibusa/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5307_zpsywoyacii.jpg) (http://s1040.photobucket.com/user/calibusa/media/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5307_zpsywoyacii.jpg.html)
13. Turn the pumps on and when it build enough pressure to shoot out a solid stream of water out of the pressure valve like so, close it up:
(http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b402/calibusa/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5308_zpsbfefp8wr.jpg) (http://s1040.photobucket.com/user/calibusa/media/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5308_zpsbfefp8wr.jpg.html)
14. Check to make sure pressure is good on the gauge and if so, the job is complete:
(http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b402/calibusa/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5309_zpsjehtpcgw.jpg) (http://s1040.photobucket.com/user/calibusa/media/ppump%20filter%2012%202015/DSC_5309_zpsjehtpcgw.jpg.html)
