Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 420 Sq. Ft. Cartridge Filter | EC-160301

The ultimate, high-capacity filtration solution designed to deliver commercial-grade water clarity to your residential backyard oasis. The Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 420 (EC-160301) is a heavy-duty, multi-cartridge filter that completely outshines standard sand and D.E. filters in both efficiency and ease of maintenance. By housing four massive, coreless filter cartridges inside its durable tank, this system provides a staggering 420 square feet of filtration surface area, capturing microscopic dirt, oils, and debris to keep your pool water brilliantly clear.

Because cartridge filters do not require a backwash valve or backwash cycles, the Clean & Clear Plus is incredibly eco-friendly. It saves thousands of gallons of heated and chemically balanced pool water from being pumped into the street every season, drastically lowering your water and chemical bills while keeping your pool pristine.

Features

Massive 420 Sq. Ft. Capacity: Engineered with a four-cartridge internal design that maximizes the available surface area. This massive capacity means the filter can trap significantly more debris between cleanings, allowing for longer filtration cycles and less time spent hosing off cartridges.

Eco-Friendly & Cost-Saving: Completely eliminates the need for backwashing. When the filter gets dirty, you simply remove the cartridges and rinse them with a garden hose. This saves thousands of gallons of water annually and prevents your expensive pool chemicals and heated water from being wasted.

Heavy-Duty Tank Construction: The injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene tank is built to survive the harshest equipment pad environments. It is highly resistant to extreme UV rays, freezing winter temperatures, and internal corrosion, ensuring years of reliable performance.

Innovative Lock Ring Clamp: Features a heavy-duty, tamper-proof clamp ring with spring-loaded safety latches. This provides fast, easy, and completely safe access to the internal cartridges without the need for specialized tools or wrestling with rusted metal bands.

Continuous High Flow Air Relief: Equipped with an internal air relief mechanism that works alongside the top-mounted manual air bleeder valve. This system continuously purges trapped air during operation to maintain optimal filtration pressure and prevent dangerous air buildup inside the tank.

100% Drain Clean-Out Port: Features a convenient 1.5-inch bottom drain plug strategically located at the lowest point of the tank. This makes winterizing the filter or washing out heavy debris from the bottom of the tank incredibly fast and completely hassle-free.
