Description
Keep your spa and pool at peak clarity with the Filbur FC-3525 Spa/Pool Replacement Filter Cartridge. Built for performance and designed to outlast typical filters, this cartridge is a trusted choice for households that demand reliability in saltwater and chlorine-rich environments. As a leading OEM filter manufacturer in the USA, Filbur combines durable materials with smart engineering to deliver filtration you can count on season after season.
What makes the FC-3525 stand out
- Reinforced center cores—extruded PVC cores provide even stress distribution and prevent collapse under heavy debris loading, extending time between cleanings.
- Premium filter media—durable, high-quality polyester media delivers long life, maintains water clarity, and supports efficient filtration performance.
- Antimicrobial end caps—reinforced for strength and treated to repel odor-causing bacteria and mold, helping keep your system cleaner between cleanings. The formulation also resists deterioration from salt pools and high chlorine levels.
- Wider support bands—enhanced break-resistance keeps pleats evenly spaced for consistent flow and reduces pleat flutter caused by turbulence in the housing.
- End caps with integrated fittings—molded-in fittings simplify installation and removal, eliminating the need for PAD adapters that can reduce flow and filtration efficiency.
- Sharp pleat folds—advanced synthetic fiber construction minimizes bridging, allowing more dirt to reach deeply into the pleats for stronger filtration and easier cleaning.
- Embossed part numbers—clear identification makes re-ordering quick and hassle-free.

Practical use and maintenance tips
- Before installing, inspect the cartridge to ensure the end caps and fittings are undamaged. The integrated fittings simplify setup and reduce the chance of flow-restricting adapters.
- Rinse the filter cartridge with a gentle stream of water to remove loose debris before placing it back in the housing.
- Avoid using high-pressure or aggressive cleaners on the pleats to preserve the sharp folds and filtration efficiency.
- Follow your system’s recommended cleaning schedule; a good rule of thumb is to inspect and rinse when flow reduces or pressure rises noticeably.
- Pair with compatible spa/pool care routines for best results in salt pools or chlorine-heavy environments.
