Description
Upgrade your spa or pool filtration with the Filbur FC-1940 Spa/Pool Replacement Filter Cartridge. Built to outlast typical cartridges, this model blends rugged construction with clear, sparkling water—delivering reliable filtration you can depend on season after season.
Why this cartridge stands out
- Reinforced center cores: Extruded PVC center cores are designed for even distribution of stress and higher debris loading. The result is stronger filtration that resists collapse under heavy loading, meaning fewer cleanings and longer intervals between maintenance.
- Premium polyester media: Durable, easy-to-clean filtration that sustains water clarity and delivers consistently efficient performance across time and use.
- Antimicrobial end caps: End caps aren’t just strong—they’re treated to repel odor-causing bacteria and mold. The antimicrobial formulation also resists deterioration in saltwater pools and high-chlorine environments, helping your filter stay fresher longer.
- Wider break-resistant bands: Extra-wide bands keep pleats evenly spaced, reducing flutter and maintaining optimum flow even in turbulent housings.
- Sharp pleat folds: A unique pleat geometry prevents bridging, allowing dirt to penetrate deep into the folds for better filtration and easier cleaning.
- Integrated fittings: End caps come with molded-in fittings, eliminating the need for pad adapters and reducing flow restrictions during installation and operation.
- Embossed part numbers: Clear, embossed identification makes re-ordering a breeze and ensures you’re always selecting the right replacement.
