2. If you do not know the replacement part number for your cartridge, then use the following steps as a guide to choose the right cartridge:
a. Measure the outside diameter of the cartridge in inches (+/- 1/16)
b. Measure the overall length of the cartridge in inches (+/- 1/16), including the end caps. Do not include any handles, strings, etc.
c. If the top and/or bottom is open, measure the inside diameter of the opening (+/- 1/16 inch). If the end cap is closed make note of its identifying features (i.e. “Handle”, “Cone”, etc.).
3. Each cartridge with an filtration area of 130 sq.ft, 4-pack for 520 sq.ft.
The information provided about manufacturers' names and part numbers is only for compatibility and they still remain the property of the respective holder(s).
The end caps of the filter cartridge are sturdy, not easy to melt or crack.
More filter area for maximum filtration efficiency, providing a sparkling clean pool.
Features a molded and extruded strong core that provides maximum hydraulic efficiency and overall structural stability.
Relatively easy to clean with a strong hose for more than one use.
Plug and play. Just unscrewed the cap and replace the cartridge.
1.High water pressure: When the running pressure of your pool filtration system starts to climb and doesn't come down after a deep cleaning of your cartridge, that can be a sign that the cartridge needs to be replaced.
2.Cracked end caps: If the end cap on either end of your cartridge has turned brittle and cracked or chipped, that cartridge should be replaced immediately to keep pieces from breaking off and damaging your system.
3.Torn pleats: The pleats do the filtering. If the fabric is torn or has a fuzzy appearance, the effectiveness of your cartridge has been compromised, and it should be replaced.
4.Crushed cartridge: When the inner structure of your cartridge has been compromised, your filter will look a bit like a crushed can. If this happens, it's time to replace your cartridge.
