About This Item

Unicel's 9000 Series C-9650 delivers 50 sq. ft. of filtration area in a heavy-duty 4 oz. Reemay 2040 polyester build — Unicel's premium media weight for extended service life and superior dirt-holding capacity. With 194 pleats packed into a coreless, open-end design, this cartridge maximizes flow and surface area specifically engineered as the direct OEM replacement for Jacuzzi Brothers CFR 50, CFR 50BY, and CFT 50 filter systems.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Full Filter Service Requires 2 Cartridges
Your Jacuzzi CFR 50, CFR 50BY, or CFT 50 filter requires 2 cartridges for a complete service — cartridges are stacked inside the tank. Replacing only one while leaving a worn cartridge in place reduces filtration efficiency and shortens the life of the new element. Add 2 units to your cart to complete your filter service.

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.
