About This Item

The Unicel C-4401 is a 4000 Series replacement filter cartridge built with 158 pleats of heavy-duty 4 oz. Reemay 2040 polyester media, delivering 35 sq. ft. of filter area per cartridge. The high pleat count maximizes surface area in a compact 4 5/8" form factor, providing thorough filtration for spa and above-ground pool applications. This listing includes 2 cartridges — sold as a set.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Sundance® Spa Owners — Dual Cartridge System
Certain Sundance® spa filter systems require both a C-4401 (inner, 35 sq. ft.) and a C-4405 (outer, 10 sq. ft.) for a complete 45 sq. ft. filter service. These are two different cartridges — this listing covers the C-4401 inner cartridge only. Sundance OEM part 6000-134 cross-references to the C-4405, not this cartridge. Need the outer cartridge? View the Unicel C-4405 here.

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.
