Pool Filter Cartridge Replacement FAQs
How do I find the correct replacement pool filter cartridge?
To find the correct replacement pool filter cartridge, locate the filter model number on the filter tank label or in your owner’s manual. Then match that model to the corresponding cartridge part number using the chart on this page.
How often should pool filter cartridges be replaced?
Most pool filter cartridges last 1–3 years depending on pool use, water chemistry, pump run time, and how often the cartridges are cleaned. If water flow drops quickly after cleaning, or the pleats are fraying or collapsing, it’s usually time to replace.
Do I need to replace all cartridges at the same time?
Yes. For multi-element cartridge filters, replacing the full set at the same time helps maintain balanced filtration and consistent water flow. Mixing old and new cartridges can reduce performance and shorten the life of the new cartridges.
What is the difference between a single cartridge and a full set?
A single is one replacement cartridge element. A full set includes all cartridges your filter requires (often 2 or 4 depending on the model). Always check the Required quantity in the chart before ordering.
What happens if I buy the wrong pool filter cartridge?
The wrong cartridge can cause poor filtration, air leaks, reduced pump efficiency, or damage to the filter housing due to improper fit. Always confirm your filter model and OEM part number before purchasing.
Are OEM cartridge part numbers the same across brands?
No. Cartridge part numbers are specific to each filter manufacturer and model (for example, Hayward vs Pentair vs Jandy). Use the brand sections and model search to find the exact OEM replacement for your filter.
