Description
Meet the Filbur FC-0170 Spa/Pool Replacement Filter Cartridge—the durable, high-performance filter designed to keep spa and pool water crystal clear while standing up to challenging environments. Built for longevity and reliability, this cartridge is engineered to outlast typical replacements and deliver consistent filtration for busy households and professional care alike.
- Reinforced center cores—extruded PVC cores with round holes distribute stress evenly and prevent collapse under heavy debris loading, extending time between cleanings and maintaining steady flow.
- Premium filter media—hard-wearing polyester media delivers durable filtration, easier backwashing, and sustained water clarity across multiple seasons.
- Wider, stronger support bands—keep pleats evenly spaced, reduce flutter from turbulence, and maximize filtration efficiency without sacrificing flow.
- Antimicrobial end caps—reinforced for strength and treated to repel odor-causing bacteria and mold, helping keep your filter fresher between cleanings.
- Salt and chlorine resistant—advanced formulation resists deterioration from salt pools and high levels of chlorine, making it a reliable choice for modern spa and pool setups.
- Sharp pleat folds—specialized synthetic fibers prevent bridging, allowing deeper dirt penetration and easier cleaning for more thorough filtration.
- End caps with integrated fittings—molded-in fittings simplify installation and removal, eliminating the need for PAD adapters that can slow flow or impede filtration.
- Identifiable part numbers—embossed identifiers make reordering quick and straightforward, so you’re never guessing when it’s time to replace.

Built by Filbur, a leading OEM filter manufacturer in the USA, this cartridge prioritizes value—delivering longer life, cleaner water, and fewer interruptions to your water routine.
Who should consider the Filbur FC-0170? Homeowners with saltwater spas, chlorine-heavy pools, or busy backyard setups who want a filtration solution that resists chemical wear while maintaining strong debris loading. It’s also ideal for anyone who appreciates precise, durable construction, easy installation, and the peace of mind that comes from a filter designed to perform under pressure.
