Know before you buy
This cartridge is specifically designed for Dimension One Spas. Before purchasing, verify that your current filter matches the 7-inch diameter, 10.5-inch length, and the 2-inch MPT threaded bottom connection.
For optimal water clarity and to extend the life of the filter, you should rinse it with a garden hose whenever you notice a drop in water flow. For a deeper clean, use the included wash tablets as needed, typically every few months depending on your spa usage.
This filter is engineered to be cleaned and reused at least three times. Under normal operating conditions, this allows the cartridge to provide a full year of filtration before it needs to be replaced.
The Spa-Daddy Trilobal 3 oz/yard material features a unique fiber shape that captures more debris and contaminants than standard filter fabrics. This design provides 55 square feet of filtration area, ensuring more efficient water purification.
The handle top is designed to make removing and installing the cartridge significantly easier. If your current filter housing has enough clearance, the handle is a convenient feature that simplifies your routine maintenance.
