Product details

The Pentair R178671 is the cartridge element for the 125 square foot Clean and Clear filter system. It is the genuine Pentair replacement, listed at 23-5/8 inches in length.

Getting the size right

Clean and Clear is sold in several square footages and each one takes its own element, so order by the rating printed on your tank rather than by the family name. On the diameter, the Pentair product name gives 10-1/6 inches while the short description repeats the same figure with a stray digit in front of it. If diameter is what you are matching on, measure the element that comes out.

When to replace the element

Cartridges are cleaned many times before they are replaced. The point to stop cleaning is when cleaning stops helping: filter pressure that climbs again within days of a wash, pleats that have gone flat or torn, or fabric that has permanently discolored and no longer rinses clean.

Questions and answers

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

Which filter does this fit?
The Pentair Clean and Clear 125 square foot filter system. The element part number is R178671.
What size is the element?
Pentair lists it as 23-5/8 inches long. The diameter is given as 10-1/6 inches in the product name, and the short description repeats it with a stray leading digit, so measure your old element if the diameter is the deciding factor.
Is it a genuine Pentair element?
Yes, it is the Pentair OEM cartridge for this system.
When should I replace rather than clean a cartridge?
When cleaning stops working. If the pressure comes down for only a short time after a wash, or the pleats are flattened, torn or permanently discolored, a new element is the fix.
