Why this replacement stands out
The UHD-SR50 isn’t a generic add-on—it’s a purpose-built replacement for the 80506 cartridge lineage. The 52 sq ft filtration area translates to more contact time with circulating water, capturing debris more effectively while supporting steady flow and easier backwashing. The bottom end cap’s 12 concentric slots are engineered to promote even backwash distribution, helping to maintain clean pleats and consistent performance over time. With a precise 8-11/16" diameter and 13-5/16" length, it fits standard Sta-Rite/Pentair housings without modification, so you can trust a hassle-free retrofit.
Ideal use cases
- Residential in-ground or above-ground pools using Sta-Rite/Pentair cartridge systems
- Replacement for Posi-Flo TX/TXR/PTM 50 sq ft filtration setups
- Pools that demand reliable, easy-to-maintain filtration with a straightforward maintenance cycle
Benefits in practice
- Longer run times between cleanings: The generous 52 sq ft media area handles more debris before pressure rises, helping you spend less time servicing the filter.
- Direct compatibility: Specifically engineered to replace 80506 and align with Sta-Rite/Pentair systems, reducing guesswork during replacements.
- Durable, easy-care media: The 4 oz synthetic media resists breakdown and cleans up well after backwashing, restoring peak flow quickly.
Installation and maintenance tips
- Before first use, rinse the cartridge thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Inspect seals and O-rings on your housing; replace if you notice cracks or wear to ensure a tight, leak-free fit.
- Backwash when pressure rises 8–10 psi above the clean baseline, or as recommended by your pool’s maintenance schedule.
- Regularly inspect the pleats for tears or deformities and replace the cartridge if flow becomes restricted or debris bypass increases.
