Product details

The Pentair 196040 is the replacement cartridge element for the EasyClean 90 gpm filter. It is the factory element for that filter, so the housing, clamp and plumbing all stay as they are and only the element changes.

Order by filter model

EasyClean filters are offered in more than one flow rating and the elements are not interchangeable between them. Check the rating on your filter label against the 90 gpm listed here before ordering, since a cartridge that is close but not right will not seal.

Knowing when to change it

Clean pressure is the guide. Note the gauge reading with a fresh element in and clean water flowing, and use that as the baseline. Once washing no longer brings the reading back near that number, or the media is torn or permanently flattened, the element has done its work. Rinse cartridges rather than scrubbing them, because stiff brushes drive dirt into the fabric and shorten the life of the element.
