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.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which filters does this fit?
The Pentair Clean & Clear CC50 and the Predator 50.
How big is the cartridge?
The listed dimensions are 10-1/4 inch length, 8-3/4 inch height and 10-1/4 inch width, with open 6 inch inner diameter end caps at both ends.
Is it a genuine Pentair cartridge?
Yes. It is the Pentair OEM element, part number R173213.
How often should it be replaced?
Cartridges are cleaned through the season and replaced when the pleats no longer come clean or the fabric goes soft, since a spent element lets fine dirt straight back into the pool.
