Product details

The Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 420 is a four cartridge filter with 420 sq ft of filter area, the largest capacity in the Clean & Clear Plus line, sold under part number EC-160301.

Fine filtration, long intervals

The cartridge elements catch particles down to about 20 microns. For a sense of scale, an average grain of beach sand is around 1,000 microns. Spreading that work across four cartridges gives the filter a great deal of surface area, so it holds more debris before the pressure climbs and goes longer between cleanings.

Cleaning without a backwash

There is no multiport valve and no water sent to waste. Open the top, lift out the four cartridges, hose them down and put them back. The tank ships complete with the cartridges, a pressure gauge, a union kit and an air relief valve.

Because of the size of the tank, this filter ships by freight.

Questions and answers

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

What is included?
The filter tank with its four cartridges, a pressure gauge, a union kit for the plumbing connections and an air relief valve.
How do I clean it?
There is no backwash cycle. Open the top of the tank, remove the four cartridges, rinse them with a hose and put them back.
How fine does it filter?
Down to about 20 microns. For scale, an average grain of beach sand is about 1,000 microns.
Why four cartridges instead of one?
Four elements give far more surface area in the same tank. More area means the filter holds more debris before pressure rises, so it runs longer between cleanings.
