Pentair Clean Clear Plus Cartridge Filter

Product Description

The Pentair Clean & Clear Plus Cartridge Filter is a commercial-grade filtration system engineered to deliver superior water clarity and reliable, low-maintenance performance for residential and commercial pools or spas. Featuring an advanced four-cartridge configuration, this filtration system maximizes the available surface area to trap a high volume of dirt, leaves, and micro-particles as small as 20 microns. By utilizing multiple large-capacity cartridges instead of a single element, the system distributes hydraulic flow evenly, which dramatically extends the operational cycle times between cleanings and reduces overall wear on pool equipment.

Constructed for maximum longevity, the single-piece filter tank is built from injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene. This specialized composite material provides outstanding structural strength and total corrosion resistance against harsh pool chemicals and extreme outdoor elements. The tank utilizes a heavy-duty tension control clamp to secure the upper and lower halves, creating an airtight and leak-proof seal that is easy to service. To optimize standard operating efficiency, the filter integrates a continuous internal air bleed mechanism alongside a high-flow manual air relief valve, ensuring that air pockets do not build up inside the system and degrade pump performance.

Maintenance is straightforward and tool-free. When the cartridges require servicing, they can be removed quickly and hosed off using a standard garden hose. The unit also includes a dedicated 1-1/2-inch drain clean-out port located at the base of the tank, which facilitates fast, complete draining for streamlined winterization or water replacement.
