FAQ
Q: Will this fit my Pentair Clean & Clear 150?
A: Yes — this is a direct replacement for Pentair CC150, CC150P, and Clean & Clear 150 systems. Replaces Pentair R173216, PAP150, Filbur FC-0687, and Unicel C-9417.
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 when pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI higher than a clean start reading after thorough cleaning, or every 2-3 years.
Q: What's the difference between PLF100A, PLF150A, and the CC200 cartridge?
A: PLF100A = 100 sq.ft. for CC100 (approx 20-5/8 inch), PLF150A = 150 sq.ft. for CC150 (approx 26-3/4 inch), CC200 = 200 sq.ft. for CC200 (approx 27-1/4 inch). Measure your existing cartridge to confirm the correct size.
Q: Is 4-oz media really better than 3-oz?
A: Yes. The heavier trilobal media provides approximately 25% more filtration surface area per pleat, captures finer particles, and holds more dirt between cleanings — resulting in clearer water with less maintenance.
Q: Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
A: Yes. The trilobal synthetic media, PVC core, and end caps are fully compatible with saltwater chlorine generator (SWCG) pools.
