Simple Pool and Spa Repair from Harvey at All Parts Pool and Spa

This video explains the use of the filter finder feature on AllPartsPoolandSpa.com

When it comes time to replace your existing spa or pool filter cartridge gather as much information as you can on your cartridge using the following steps to help you get the correct one.

1. Measure the outside diameter of the cartridge in inches to the nearest 1/16″.

2. Measure the overall length of the cartridge including the end caps in inches to the nearest 1/16″. Do not include any handles, strings, etc. The most accurate measurement will be if you can measure through the center of the cartridge.

3. If the top and or bottom are open measure this inside diameter to the nearest 1/16″. The picture below will help you match the end cap configurations.

4. Make note of the manufacturer (OEM) and model number of the filter that you are replacing.

5. Take not if there is or isn’t a center core (PVC pipe in the center). And count the number of pleats.

Now use the information you have gathered to fill-in a webssite filter finder or filter search program.
Note: If you are having difficulty finding your filter, just putting in the diameter or the length and searching, will give you a long list of many filters fitting your one criteria and you can then choose what you need from the pictures and/or descriptions.
