Description

The Pentair Clean & Clear Cartridge Filter 150 sq ft (SKU EC-160317) is engineered for homeowners seeking a no-compromise cartridge filtration solution for medium to large in-ground pools. With 150 square feet of filtration media, it strains debris effectively while keeping maintenance intervals reasonable. The fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene tank ensures long service life in chemically advanced pool environments. Its coreless cartridge design simplifies servicing—just remove the cartridges, rinse, and reinstall. Equipped with 2″ ports to handle strong flow and advanced air-relief features for safe operation, this filter is a reliable foundation for pool clarity and ease of care.

Pro Tip

Allow sufficient vertical clearance above the filter lid to permit cartridge removal—plan for at least 12-16″. Ensure your pump flow matches the filter (approx 150 GPM or less) to avoid over-pressurizing the tank. Monitor pressure rise for ~10 psi over clean start, then rinse cartridges and check lid O-ring and clamp ring for seal integrity.

Ensure plumbing ports match the unit’s 2″ connection or use proper adapters. After installation, inspect and lubricate the lid O-ring and clamp ring before starting the system. Follow manufacturer guidelines for cartridge rinsing and replacement.
