About This Item
The Unicel 4000 Series 4CH-20 is a 20 sq. ft. replacement filter cartridge built for top-load spa skimmer systems. Its 1-1/2" male-threaded (MPT) bottom connection makes it a direct-thread replacement for a wide range of spa filter housings — no adapter required in most applications. With 204 precision-pleated panels of 3 oz. Reemay 2033 spunbond polyester media, this cartridge delivers consistent filtration performance and extended media life.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Adapter Compatibility Note
This cartridge can also replace open-ended filters with a 1.9" inside diameter when used with a threaded adapter (sold separately). If your existing filter did not use a threaded connection, verify adapter requirements before ordering.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Vita Spas Installation Note
On Vita Spa models that use a pad adapter in the skimmer: remove that adapter before threading the 4CH-20's 1-1/2" MPT connection directly into the suction fitting. Consult your spa manual if you are unsure whether your model uses this adapter.
