Hot Spring
Filter Compartment 1987-1988 Grandee Filter compartment parts for the 1987-1988
Grandee
This filter compartment is in two parts. The skimmer on this model year
Grandee is off to the side. It has a floating weir gate that travels
on rollers attached to the weir. When the jet pumps are activated the
weir gate drops creating the "skimming" action. The water
is then drawn into the actual filter compartment accessed by removing
a weighted cover located in the body of the water on the entry step
just above the equipment compartment door. The two filters in this compartment
both have their function. The left filter is dedicated to the left side
jet pump and the right filter for the right side pump. Each filter inserts
onto a fitting located in this compartment and then a spring loaded "filter
coupling " is
inserted between the two filters to hold them in place.
