Tier1 Pool & Spa Filter Cartridge

Compatibility is determined by the dimensions and the specific model number of your current filter. You should measure your existing cartridge to ensure it matches the 8.125-inch height and 4.75-inch diameter of this unit, and cross-reference your filter housing's part number with the manufacturer's specifications.

The pleated fabric design significantly increases the total surface area available for filtration, which allows the cartridge to trap more debris like hair, leaves, and sediment. This dense weave is more effective at capturing fine particles while maintaining consistent water flow.

No, this cartridge is engineered with a high-flow core specifically designed to minimize resistance. By allowing water to pass through efficiently, it helps reduce the overall strain on your pump, which can contribute to a longer lifespan for your equipment.

While cleaning frequency depends on your usage and water conditions, you should generally rinse the pleats with a garden hose whenever you notice a drop in water pressure or visible debris buildup. For optimal performance, plan to replace the cartridges entirely every season or when the fabric begins to show signs of wear or discoloration.

This package includes four cartridges, which is ideal if your specific filter housing requires multiple units for a complete change. Always check your filter system's manual to confirm how many cartridges your specific model requires for a full replacement cycle.
