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 Zodiac make a compatible cartridge?
- AstralPool makes the genuine cartridge for Zodiac models. Compatible cartridges for Zodiac 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 Zodiac pool filter or spa?
- No reset light. Note the gauge reading with a clean element; AstralPool says to clean it when the gauge rises 15–20 kPa.
