SpiroPure SP-PS-1292M Filter Cartridge

Standard filters only trap physical debris. The antimicrobial media in this cartridge is treated to actively inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on the filter surface, which helps keep your water cleaner and reduces odors between regular maintenance cycles.

This cartridge is designed as a direct replacement for Hayward C900, Pleatco PA90-M, Unicel C-8409, and Sta-Rite PXC-95 housings. Always verify your existing filter's dimensions—specifically the 8.9375-inch diameter and 17.375-inch length—to ensure a perfect fit.

With proper maintenance and regular cleaning, this filter is built to last between 12 and 18 months. The actual lifespan will depend on your specific pool usage, water chemistry, and the amount of debris your system typically processes.

Yes, a larger surface area allows the filter to capture more particulates and debris before becoming clogged. This 90 square foot capacity means you can typically go longer between cleanings compared to smaller, lower-capacity filters.

No, you maintain it just like a standard pleated filter. Rinse it periodically with a garden hose to remove accumulated debris, and use a dedicated pool filter cleaner when you notice a drop in water flow or pressure.
