About This Item
20 Sq. Ft. Replacement DE Filter Cartridge for Pentair Quad DE 80
The Unicel C-6980 is a precision-engineered replacement DE filter cartridge delivering 20 square feet of filtration area. Constructed with 8 oz. spun-bonded polyester DE media — a heavier, tightly woven fabric specifically designed to retain a DE powder coating — this cartridge provides the fine-particle capture performance your Quad DE 80 system depends on. With 42 pleats and open molded gasket end caps, the C-6980 seats firmly for a leak-free seal and consistent flow through every service cycle.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Full Filter Service Requires 4 Cartridges
Your Pentair Quad DE 80 requires 4 cartridges for a complete service. Replacing all four at the same time ensures consistent flow, balanced filtration, and full filter efficiency. Add 4 units to your cart to complete your filter service.

Pro Tip
Before ordering, verify your filter dimensions match the specifications above and confirm OEM part number 178655 against your existing cartridge or filter housing label. Since the Quad DE 80 requires four identical cartridges, inspecting all four at the same time ensures you catch any uneven wear before it affects system performance.
