This high-capacity cartridge fits a range of spa and pool systems, delivering durable filtration that stands up to salt and chlorine environments while simplifying maintenance.
- Direct compatibility and cross-reference: Replaces multiple part numbers, including 17-B2071, 17B2071, 19907, 46136, 645544007407, AK-6064, C-7607, FC-0740, PBH100, PBH100-4, PLE-051-9337, and more. A versatile choice when sourcing an OEM-style replacement.
- Core specs you can rely on: Length 39-3/8", diameter 7", bottom style 2" cone, top style handle, media type 4 oz, for an overall 100 sq ft filtration footprint (Model Hydro-Mite 100).
- End caps that go the distance: Reinforced, antimicrobial end caps designed to resist odor-causing bacteria and mold. They’re engineered to withstand salt pools and high chlorine levels, helping extend cartridge life.
- Reinforced center cores for heavy debris: Extruded PVC center cores distribute stress evenly and prevent collapse under heavy loading, meaning fewer mid-cycle filter changes and more consistent flow.
- Premium filtration media: High-quality polyester media delivers durable performance, clearer water, and longer life between cleanings, even in challenging spa and pool conditions.
- Smart pleat design: Sharp pleat folds maximize dirt capture while preventing bridging, allowing particulates to penetrate deeply for efficient cleaning and sustained flow.
- Integrated fittings for easy installation: End caps with molded-in fittings simplify installation and removal, eliminating the need for PAD adapters that can impede flow.
- Clear identification for future replacements: Embossed part numbers on the cartridge assist quick identification and easy re-ordering, so you stay stocked without rummaging through manuals.
- Wide, break-resistant bands: Reinforced bands keep pleats evenly spaced, reduce flutter from flow turbulence, and support consistent filtration performance.
Why this replacement stands out
Designed with real-world spa and pool use in mind, the FC-0740 blends rugged construction with practical features that matter day-to-day. If you’re maintaining a saltwater spa or a chlorine-heavy pool, the antimicrobial end caps and salt/chlorine-resistant formulation help resist deterioration, while the reinforced center cores and wider bands protect against loss of flow during high debris loads. The result is a filtration solution that delivers reliable water clarity, longer intervals between cleanings, and straightforward maintenance—so you spend less time worrying about filters and more time enjoying your water.
Ideal use cases and scenarios
- Spas and pools operating in saltwater environments where corrosion resistance and antimicrobial protection matter most.
- Systems that routinely handle fine particulates and heavier debris, thanks to robust core structure and enhanced pleat stability.
- Owners seeking a cross-reference-friendly replacement that covers a broad set of older part numbers for convenient sourcing.
