Advanced Ultra Filtration Performance
Pleatco Ultra filtration technology combines optimized pleated filtration media with an improved core design to promote water flow throughout the cartridge. This construction helps maintain filtration performance while reducing unnecessary restrictions caused by uneven water distribution.
Improved dirt-holding capacity can help extend cleaning intervals under suitable operating conditions, potentially reducing maintenance requirements and filtration system operating resistance.

Replacement may be necessary when:
- Filter pressure rises rapidly after cleaning.
- Water circulation remains restricted despite thorough cartridge cleaning.
- Filter pleats become torn, flattened, or damaged.
- Cartridge end caps become cracked or deteriorated.
- The filter media remains clogged after proper cleaning.
- Water clarity cannot be restored through normal filtration and water chemistry maintenance.
