Product details

The Unicel C-6980 is the replacement filter cartridge for the Pentair Quad DE 80. Each cartridge carries 20 square feet of filter area across 42 pleats, built with 8 ounce DE filter media.

Order four

A Quad DE 80 holds four of these cartridges. Replacing one at a time is possible, but a set of four aged the same way will foul at the same rate, so most owners change all four together and get consistent pressure behavior afterward.

Dimensions and fit

The cartridge is 6 1/4 inch in diameter and 26 3/4 inch long. Both end caps are open with a molded gasket and a 3 inch inner diameter, and the cartridge is made to OEM specifications for the filter.

Why DE media

The 8 ounce DE media is what separates this element from an ordinary cartridge. It filters finer, which shows up as clearer water and longer stretches between cleanings once the pressure has settled after a change.

What are the dimensions?

How is this different from a plain cartridge?
It uses 8 ounce DE filter media instead of standard cartridge fabric, which is what lets a DE filter reach the finer filtration it is known for.
