Poolaroo Pro Tip

Match the part number stamped on your old cartridge, or measure its length and outer diameter, before ordering. To keep your cartridge performing, rinse it with a garden hose (never a pressure washer), then clean it with a filter cleaner: a spray-on cleaner for quick cleaning between soaks, or an overnight deep soak to dissolve built-up oils, grease and debris. Let it dry fully before reinstalling.
