About This Item

The Unicel C-9478 is a precision-engineered 9000 Series replacement filter cartridge for the Jacuzzi Brothers CFR-150 filter system, delivering 150 sq. ft. of filtration area through 227 precision pleats of 4 oz. Reemay® 2040 spun-bonded polyester media. Unicel's exact-spec manufacturing means a proper fit in the CFR-150 housing — with the correct asymmetrical end opening dimensions that this filter requires for a proper seal.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: No Center Core
This cartridge does not include a center core. It is designed to fit over the internal manifold of your Jacuzzi Brothers CFR-150 filter housing. This is correct and expected for this model — do not attempt to install a separate core.

Fits Into:

OEM Brand Filter Model OEM Part Number Notes
Jacuzzi Brothers CFR-150 42-3508-01-R 4 oz. media version — OEM black end caps
Jacuzzi Brothers CFR-150 42-3537-06-R 3 oz. media version — OEM slate blue end caps

(This is not an exhaustive list.)

About OEM Part Numbers & End Cap Colors: Jacuzzi Brothers originally offered the CFR-150 cartridge in two media weights, identified by end cap color — black for the 4 oz. heavy-duty version and slate blue for the 3 oz. standard version. The Unicel C-9478 uses 4 oz. Reemay® 2040 media, matching the heavier-duty OEM specification, and is a compatible replacement for both OEM variants. Note: Unicel replacement end cap color will differ from the original OEM color.

Pro Tip: The CFR-150 uses intentionally asymmetrical inner openings — the top measures 5 13/16" and the bottom measures 6 1/16". If you're verifying fit before ordering, measure both ends of your existing cartridge. A mismatch on either end is the most common cause of a perceived wrong-part situation on this model. The C-9478's 9 15/16" outer diameter also gives you a quick outer-dimension confirmation without removing the cartridge from housing.

About Unicel Filter Cartridges and DE Grids

The "Gold Standard" of Replacement Cartridges
For over 50 years, Unicel (Meissner Mfg.) has been the professional's choice for restoring pool water clarity. While generic "knock-off" filters often use cheap, fuzzy fabric that clogs quickly, Unicel uses genuine Reemay® Filtration Media. This patented synthetic fiber features a unique trilobal shape that traps significantly more dirt and oils without choking your pump's water flow. Based in California, Unicel doesn't just copy filter dimensions; they engineer them to strict Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This ensures a "lock-tight" fit in your filter tank, preventing debris from bypassing the system and returning to your pool.

Why We Trust Unicel Filter Cartridges and DE Grids
Genuine Reemay® Media: Uses continuous trilobal fibers to capture microscopic debris without restricting water flow.

Precision "Exact Fit": Engineered to match your tank's original specifications for a 100% leak-free seal.

Made in the USA: Manufactured in California with heavy-duty urethane end caps that resist cracking under pressure.

Longer Lifespan: Sharp, rigid pleats resist collapsing during cleaning, meaning you buy fewer replacements over time.
