Know before you buy
Check your existing filter for the manufacturer number or part number. If it matches PIC25, or if your current filter measures 4-1/4 inches in diameter and 11-7/8 inches in length with a closed end cap, this is the correct replacement.
The 25 sq. ft. rating refers to the total surface area of the filter media. A larger surface area allows the filter to capture more debris and contaminants before needing to be cleaned, which helps keep your spa water clear and balanced.
You should rinse the cartridge with a garden hose every few weeks to remove loose debris. Depending on your usage, the filter media will eventually lose its efficiency, typically requiring a full replacement every 6 to 12 months.
No, the Pleatco PIC25 is designed for easy, tool-free installation. Simply turn off your spa's power, remove the old cartridge, and slide the new one into place according to your spa manufacturer's instructions.
This specific model is engineered for spa applications. While it shares the same filtration technology as pool filters, it is sized and constructed specifically for the flow rates and debris types common in spa systems.
