Product details
The Pentair R173213 is the 50 square foot cartridge element for the Clean & Clear CC50 and the Predator 50 pool filters. It is the genuine Pentair replacement.
Size and fit
The element is listed at 10-1/4 inch length, 8-3/4 inch height and 10-1/4 inch width, with open end caps top and bottom, each with a 6 inch inner diameter. Those are the figures the source gives, and they are what to check against the element you are pulling out.
When to change it
A cartridge is cleaned repeatedly through a season, but the media eventually stops releasing what it has trapped. Pressure climbs sooner after every cleaning, and the water takes longer to clear. At that point a new element does more for water clarity than any amount of extra chemical.
