FAQ
Q: Will this fit my Pentair Clean & Clear 200?
A: Yes — this is a direct replacement for the Pentair CC200, Clean & Clear 200, and CCP200 filter systems. It also replaces Pentair R173217, PAP200, Filbur FC-0688, and Unicel C-9419 cartridges.
Q: How often should I clean or replace the cartridge?
A: Rinse with a garden hose every 4-6 weeks during swim season. Deep clean with filter cleaner solution every 3-6 months. Replace the cartridge when the filter pressure stays high after cleaning, the media shows visible wear, or every 2-3 years.
Q: Is this 4-oz media better than the standard 3-oz?
A: Yes. The heavier 4-ounce trilobal media provides approximately 25% more filtration surface area per pleat and captures finer particles than standard 3-oz elements. This means cleaner water and longer intervals between cleanings.
Q: How do I know when to replace the filter cartridge?
A: Replace when: (1) pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI higher than a clean start reading, even after thorough cleaning, (2) the media bands are broken or frayed, (3) the cartridge has been in service 2-3 years.
Q: Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
A: Yes. The trilobal synthetic media and PVC core are fully compatible with saltwater chlorine generator (SWCG) pools.
