With 75 square feet of media, it provides a strong balance between size and performance. The tank is built from fiberglass‑reinforced polypropylene to handle pool chemicals and environmental stress, while the coreless cartridge simplifies cleaning and reduces water waste compared to backwashing systems.

Pro Tip

Verify that your pump’s flow rate matches the capacity of this 75 sq ft filter—if your flow exceeds ~75–80 GPM, the filter may reach cleaning intervals more frequently. Leave adequate clearance above the lid for easy cartridge access, and at servicing time, ensure the lock‐ring is clean and lubricated for smooth operation.
