Pentair Element Retro Cartridge for EasyClean EC90 D.E. Filter | 196090

The Pentair Element Retro Cartridge (196090) is the OEM replacement element retainer kit for the EasyClean™ EC90 D.E. Filter System.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: THIS LISTING IS A KIT — NOT A SINGLE ELEMENT
This listing includes a complete element retro kit. Confirm the contents against your EC90 filter's parts diagram before ordering to ensure you receive everything required for your service.

The element retro kit restores the internal filter element assembly of the EasyClean™ EC90 D.E. Filter. D.E. filter elements are the primary filtration media support structure — when grids become torn, warped, or coated beyond cleaning, replacing the full element kit returns the filter to rated filtration performance. Match part number 196090 to the number in your EC90 filter's parts diagram before ordering.

Pro Tip

Before ordering, locate the parts diagram in your EC90 filter's installation manual and confirm that 196090 is listed as the element retro kit for your specific filter configuration. D.E. filter element kits are model-specific — an incorrect kit will not seat properly in the tank. When servicing the element assembly, inspect the manifold and any associated O-rings at the same time; replacing worn seals during the same service interval prevents a second teardown.
