With an effective area of 100 square feet, it has sufficient media to trap debris and support system flows without frequent servicing. Its rugged tank of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene offers extended life in chemical- and UV-exposed settings. The coreless cartridge system eliminates the need for water-wasting backwashes: when the pressure rises or the flow declines, you simply open the clamp ring, remove and rinse the cartridges, and replace them. Smart features like the 2-inch plumbing inlet\/outlet, manual air-relief valve, and continuous internal air relief ensure the unit handles the pump’s output, maintains prime, and helps keep your water clear with less effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure your pump’s flow rate does not significantly exceed the filter’s designed capacity—while Pentair doesn’t list a maximum flow for this exact model, sizing the filter by roughly 1 GPM per sq ft (~100 GPM) is a good rule. Leave at least 12-16″ of clearance above the clamp ring lid to make cartridge removal easy. When cleaning cartridges, inspect for wear or damage and replace if the pleats are collapsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-level safety\/compatibility notes only: Turn off pool pump power and relieve pressure before servicing. Ensure the filter rests on a level pad sized for the tank diameter plus water load. Confirm plumbing ports match the unit’s 2″ inlet\/outlet and use compatible unions or fittings. After installation, verify that O-rings and clamps are clean, lubricated, and secured before restarting the system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavanaugh Pool, Spa \u0026 Patio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62589890462067,"sku":"PAC-05-0088","price":819.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/2464\/4211\/files\/CleannClear200_4b6bcdf6-b4c2-4a52-8914-ad9fbd019867.jpg?v=1772563799","url":"https:\/\/shop.cavanaughpool.com\/products\/pentair-clean-clear-cartridge-filter-100-ec-160316","provider":"Cavanaugh Pool, Spa \u0026 Patio, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
