Product details
The Pentair 179136 is the cartridge set for the Clean and Clear Plus 520 filter, supplied as a four pack. It is the genuine Pentair part.
Replace them as a set
The four cartridges in a Clean and Clear Plus tank share the work evenly, and they age at the same rate. Fitting one or two new elements alongside older ones pushes most of the flow through the new cartridges, so they load up quickly and the set never performs like a clean filter. Changing all four together is the way to get a full season out of them.
Cleaning versus replacing
Pleated cartridges are meant to be rinsed and reused several times. They are finished when a thorough cleaning no longer returns filter pressure to its clean startup reading, or when the pleats stay matted, the fabric goes thin or an end cap separates.
Check the model
This set is for the Clean and Clear Plus 520. The 320 and 420 tanks use different cartridges, so read the label on the filter body before ordering.
