Description

Clean & Clear Plus cartridge filter combines top-end filter performance with low maintenance. This dependable design uses special filter elements to strip tiny particles from your pool water... particles as small as 30 microns. (An average grain of beach sand is 1000 microns!) Our four-cartridge design provides maximum filter surface area to capture more dirt and extend time between cleaning. And cleaning is a snap. Open the top, remove the cartridges, hose them off, and Clean & Clear Plus is ready to go again. Clean & Clear Plus cartridge filters contain four polyester cartridges that hold enormous amounts of dirt, yet are easy to clean. The fiberglass-reinforced tank halves are secured with an innovative clamp ring - just loosen the ring and remove the top half for easy cartridge access and rinsing. Filter maintenance doesn't get any easier.

imageHow often should the CCP520 cartridges be cleaned? 1 Answer

  • Clean the cartridges when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 PSI above the clean starting pressure, or typically every 6–10 weeks during peak season depending on debris load and pool usage. Due to the large 520 sq. ft. capacity, many homeowners only clean the cartridges once or twice per season under normal conditions.
