Pentair Baffle Assembly

This part is specifically designed for Pentair Clean and Clear Plus cartridge filters. Before purchasing, verify your filter model number to ensure it matches the Clean and Clear Plus series, as this component is not universal across all Pentair filter lines.

Yes, this is an OEM-style direct replacement part. It is engineered to fit exactly like the original component, allowing for a straightforward installation without the need for modifications.

You should consider a replacement if you notice cracks, warping, or brittle plastic on the existing assembly. If the filter cartridges are not seating properly or if you notice a decrease in filtration efficiency, the baffle may be compromised.

This is a straightforward repair that most pool owners can handle. You will need to open the filter housing, remove the existing cartridges, and swap out the baffle assembly, but ensure you have the correct O-rings and lubricant on hand to reseal the housing properly.

The assembly is provided as the core component itself. It does not typically include additional hardware like O-rings or housing bolts, so you should plan to reuse your existing hardware or purchase new seals separately if yours are worn.
