AquaStar Pipeline 35000 Cartridge Filter, Black/Gray | PLF35000

One complete PLF35000 filter: tank, locking lid assembly, selected cartridge/core configuration subject to the revision confirmation, manual air-relief valve, pressure gauge/boot, drain plug/seals, base, two nominal 2-inch socket / 2½-inch spigot union connections, drain wrench/holder and instructions. Pool pump, external pipe, anchoring fasteners and separately ordered replacement cartridges are separate.

A single-cartridge pool/spa filter with a two-stage locking lid, accessible cartridge and linking base for suitably designed parallel installations. Current manufacturer OnCore specifications are distinguished from the catalog’s Pure Pleat revision. Manufacturer Internet-purchase warranty: 60-day parts-only from purchase; consult the full terms.

Nominal 2-inch inside socket / 2½-inch outside spigot PVC inlet/outlet unions. Maximum working pressure 50 PSI, never a compressed-air test rating. Manufacturer current OnCore area 265sq.ft.; maximum/residential design 200 GPM, public design 99 GPM, public 6-hour turnover 35,640 gallons, residential 12-hour turnover 144,000 gallons. These are configuration/time-based reference capacities, not guaranteed clarity or a universal pool-size limit. Catalog Pure Pleat version instead has 250 sq.ft., 93.75 GPM public design, 33,750 gallons at 6 hours; do not mix those values with OnCore. Current manufacturer page specifies freshwater use and 110°F maximum water temperature. Illustrated height 46-1/16 inches and tank diameter 12¾ inches are reference planes. The 19-inch plan reference and separate 22-inch diameter callout differ from tank diameter and are not an established union-to-union span. Minimum vertical service clearance 76 inches; horizontal wall clearance 6 inches per model manual.

This model identifier spans two manufacturer cartridge revisions. Current OnCore uses PF35CART (265sq.ft.); the uploaded catalog/Pure Pleat IN008 uses PF35000 (250sq.ft.). Confirm the factory cartridge and installed revision before ordering replacement media or applying a certification/turnover claim. A shared tank model number is not proof that every historic cartridge configuration has the current listing.

The current official NSF filter listing identifies PLF27000 at 200 sq.ft. and PLF35000 at 265 sq.ft., with residential 0.75 and public 0.375 GPM/ft² design filtration rates. Match the actual listed configuration; the old 250 sq.ft. Pure Pleat configuration is not independently represented as currently listed solely because the tank model is unchanged. Manufacturer whole-GPM tables use their stated rounded values.

No. The manual explains that installed flow depends on actual system resistance and pipe sizing; achieving maximum design flow may require larger piping. Local residential/energy rules may require a lower rate. Port size alone is not a whole-system hydraulic design.

Record clean-start pressure at the actual design operating flow and inspect frequently. Current instructions say clean before pressure rises 8 PSI above that baseline. A low-speed variable-speed pump may produce very low gauge readings; follow the whole safe shutdown/air-release procedure before service.

Use the complete filter manual and qualified personnel. Isolate pump power and automatic starts, release system pressure and drain as directed before opening; never pressure-test with compressed air. The locking ring must complete the full closing/locking sequence before restart. A gauge reading alone does not replace that procedure.

Current TC003-090326 and IN076 give one year from original PURCHASE for the original purchaser with serial verification, or three years under the stated simultaneous Pipeline Pump/Filter installation and both-serial-number conditions. INTERNET purchases are expressly limited to 60-day PARTS-ONLY coverage from purchase, including the advertised extended-warranty situation. The earlier Pure Pleat manual omits that Internet exception; the newer exact warranty is linked. Maintenance, wear, misuse, modifications and unapproved parts are excluded under the full terms.

Water from a separately supplied circulation pump passes through the cartridge. The filter has no supplied electric motor, battery or controller; the Hydraulic field describes that circulation-flow operation.
