With 520 sq ft of cartridge media and a flow capability up to 150 GPM, this filter supports large water volumes while reducing service intervals. The robust one-piece tank withstands pool chemicals and outdoor exposure, while the four coreless cartridges enable efficient rinse-only maintenance. With high-flow plumbing and full-drain access, it represents a performance-driven, low-maintenance filtration solution for serious pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure your pump flow remains under the ~150 GPM rating to protect media life and water clarity. Leave adequate vertical clearance above the filter lid for cartridge removal. When system pressure rises ~10 psi over clean start, hose off cartridges. Replace cartridges every 3-5 years, depending on conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-level safety\/compatibility notes only: Always turn off the pump and relieve system pressure before servicing or installing. Ensure the base is level and sized for the tank plus water and media load. Confirm plumbing connections match the 2″ ports or adapt accordingly. Lubricate and inspect the O-ring and clamp ring before starting. Do not exceed 50 psi maximum pressure and 104 °F (40 °C) water temperature per manufacturer guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavanaugh Pool, Spa \u0026 Patio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62589890363763,"sku":"PAC-05-0091","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/2464\/4211\/files\/pentair_520_6e0ae94e-9e20-4602-9db2-53269817bff1.jpg?v=1772563794","url":"https:\/\/shop.cavanaughpool.com\/products\/pentair-clean-clear-plus-cartridge-filter-520-ec-160332","provider":"Cavanaugh Pool, Spa \u0026 Patio, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
