Built by Filbur, the leading OEM filter manufacturer in the USA, this cartridge delivers enduring value, dependable performance, and longer intervals between cleanings, even in demanding environments.
What makes the FC-1610 stand out
- Reinforced center cores —extruded PVC centers with round holes distribute stress evenly, preventing collapse under heavy debris loads and ensuring consistent flow.
- Premium, durable media —high-quality polyester filtration media provides long life, excellent cleanability, and efficient removal of even fine particulates.
- Antimicrobial end caps —reinforced to resist cracking, treated to repel odor-causing bacteria and mold, and designed to withstand salt pool and high-chlorine environments.
- Wider, break-resistant bands —keep pleats evenly spaced, reduce flutter during turbulent operation, and maintain optimal filtration performance.
- Sharp pleat folds with anti-bridging design —prevents dirt bridging, allowing debris to penetrate deep into the folds for better flow and easier cleaning.
- End caps with integrated fittings —built-in fittings simplify installation and removal, eliminating the need for PAD adapters that can impede flow.
- Identifiable part numbers — embossed numbers make re-ordering quick and error-free, so you’re never guessing when it’s time for a replacement.
Designed to excel in saltwater spas and pools and to endure high levels of chlorine, the FC-1610 doesn’t shy away from rigorous use. The combination of reinforced components and antimicrobial construction means you can enjoy clearer water, longer intervals between replacements, and less downtime for maintenance.
