Common questions

What happens if I don't change the filter?
A clogged cartridge slows the flow and the pump works harder, and a torn one lets dirt back into the water, so the pool or spa clouds.
Does Pentair make a compatible cartridge?
Pentair makes the genuine cartridge. Compatible cartridges for Pentair models are made by other companies to fit the same models, and Australian sellers we track list both; each part page shows the genuine and compatible prices side by side.
What do I do after changing the cartridge in a Pentair pool filter or spa?
No reset light. Pentair says to clean the cartridge when the gauge reads 50–70 kPa above the clean-filter reading.
