Pentair Clean & Clear 100 sq ft Cartridge Filter | EC-160316
Experience superior water clarity with the Pentair Clean & Clear 100 sq ft Cartridge Filter. This compact, professional-grade filtration system is designed for small to medium-sized pools and spas. It features a chemical-resistant tank and an easy-to-clean cartridge that provides a massive surface area for trapping dirt, dust, and fine particles. By utilizing a single-element design, it offers a simple, tool-free maintenance experience that keeps your pool water sparkling with minimal effort.
The Clean & Clear series is engineered for durability and efficiency. Its high-flow manual air relief valve and continuous internal air relief work together to maintain optimum filtration performance at all times. This filter is an excellent choice for pool owners who want the high-quality filtration of a cartridge system without the complexity of multi-cartridge tanks or the water waste associated with backwashing sand filters.
Features
Single-Cartridge Simplicity: The heart of the unit is a single, high-capacity polyester cartridge. This design makes maintenance a breeze—simply open the tank, remove the cartridge, and rinse it with a garden hose. There is no need for backwashing or adding D.E. powder, which saves water and reduces chemical loss.
Chemical-Resistant Tank: The filter tank is constructed from fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene. This rugged material is designed to withstand the high pressures of pool circulation while resisting the corrosive effects of salt, chlorine, and intense UV rays for a long service life.
Integrated Continuous Air Relief: This safety feature ensures that any air trapped inside the tank is automatically vented during operation. This prevents "air-binding" and ensures the entire surface area of the cartridge is being utilized for filtration, maximizing efficiency and pump life.
Easy-Access Lock Ring: The tank features a heavy-duty, large-diameter lock ring with easy-grip handles. This allows you to access the cartridge for cleaning without the need for specialized tools, making the mid-season filter rinse a quick and painless task.
High-Flow Manual Air Relief Valve: The top-mounted manual relief valve allows you to quickly bleed air from the system after a pump basket cleaning. This ensures the filter reaches its peak operating pressure immediately upon startup.
