Product FAQs

Is this a complete filter or a replacement cartridge?

This listing is the complete CCP520 filter, with four cartridges. Its 520 sq ft rating is the total filter area. The pool pump and installation plumbing are separate.

What flow and operating limits apply?

Pentair recommends 150 GPM for CCP520. Actual flow depends on the pump, plumbing and other system components. Maximum continuous working pressure is 50 PSI and maximum internal water temperature is 104°F (40°C). Never exceed the rating of any system component.

How much installation space is required?

The spring-clamp dimensional data lists a 56-inch filter height and 21.5-inch tank diameter. Allow 74 inches of total vertical clearance to remove the lid and elements, not 74 extra inches above the filter. Check the manual drawing for the installed revision, fittings and service access. These are equipment/service dimensions, not shipping dimensions.

When should I clean or replace the cartridges?

Record clean-filter pressure and, with a variable-speed pump, its RPM. Pentair calls for cleaning at approximately 10 PSI above that starting pressure or when flow falls significantly. Compare at the same pump speed. Inspect cartridges during service; replacement is condition-based, not automatically annual. Follow the full shutdown, cleaning, reassembly and startup instructions.

Which replacement cartridges should I order?

Pentair’s earlier replacement-parts sheet lists R173578 replacement cartridge, four required, for the CCP520 complete filter. The 520 sq ft label in that sheet identifies the whole-filter model, not a single element’s media area. The cast-clamp manual also lists PCC130 as a single cartridge and PCC130-PAK4 as a four-cartridge set. Match the tank model and installed assembly before ordering.

Which manual matches my clamp?

Use the manual that matches the actual spring-clamp or cast-clamp assembly and tank identification. Manufacturing revisions have different parts and assembly procedures. Do not mix clamp hardware or instructions, and do not determine compatibility from a single date alone.

Can I open or adjust the filter while it is pressurized?

No. Switch off pump power and automatic controls, then fully relieve all air and pressure exactly as the matching manual specifies. Never loosen, tighten or adjust the clamp while pressurized. Trapped air can separate the lid with deadly force. If uncertain, have a qualified pool professional service the filter.

What purchase route and warranty apply?

This is a dealer-channel model, not an EC-prefixed ecommerce version. Follow this listing’s in-store pickup/delivery and quote instructions. Coverage depends on the purchase route and applicable Pentair terms; do not assume an online or extended warranty. Read Pentair warranty terms.

Where are the earlier parts and cleaning resources?

Earlier replacement-parts sheet includes manufacturing-date notes. The spring-clamp manual contains cartridge cleaning instructions. Previously supplied cleaning guide remains available for reference; use it only where its assembly matches your filter.

Description

PENTAIR · 160332

Four cartridges. 520 sq ft of filtration.

The Pentair Clean & Clear Plus CCP520 (160332) is a complete pool cartridge filter with 520 sq ft of total filtration area across four cartridges. Its removable cartridge assembly captures debris without a backwash cycle.

Four-cartridge filtration

520 sq ft is the complete filter’s area, not the area of one replacement cartridge. Match replacement elements to CCP520.

Corrosion-resistant tank

Fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene construction surrounds nonwoven polyester cartridge media.

Hose-clean maintenance

Cartridges are removed and rinsed following the correct manual. Cleaning is based on pressure and flow, rather than a fixed calendar interval.

Check fit before ordering

This is the dealer-channel 160332, not an EC-prefixed listing. Match the system to the 150 GPM recommended flow and allow 74 inches of vertical service clearance. Installation requires a qualified pool professional; the pump and site plumbing are separate. Before service, shut off power and fully relieve pressure using the instructions for the installed clamp design.
