Compatible with Coleman, Freeflow & More

The Unicel 5CH-352 filter is a direct replacement for several popular spa filter models. It matches the exact specifications and performance of original OEM filters used in many top spa brands.

Common Compatible Models

  • Coleman Spas (select 100 and 300 series)

  • Freeflow Spas (Mini, Azure, Excursion, and others)

  • Maax Spas, Infinity Spas, and compatible 5CH-series filters

If your old filter measures approximately 6 inches long and 5 ⅜ inches in diameter with a 2-inch male threaded (MPT) bottom, the Unicel 5CH-352 is your perfect replacement.

Built to Last – Durable Core and End Caps

The heavy-duty ABS end caps and reinforced center core provide structural strength to resist pressure and collapse. Combined with its premium pleated media, the Unicel 5CH-352 offers long-lasting filtration that withstands the rigors of spa environments—hot water, chemical exposure, and repeated cleaning cycles.

This design ensures even water distribution through every pleat, preventing clogging and maintaining consistent pressure throughout the filtration cycle.

Easy to Install and Maintain

Swapping your old spa filter for the Unicel 5CH-352 is simple and tool-free.

Installation Steps

  1. Turn off your spa system and remove the old filter.

  2. Rinse filter housing to clear any loose debris.

  3. Thread the 5CH-352 into place by hand until snug—no tools needed.

  4. Turn your system back on and check for normal flow.

Cleaning Tips

  • Rinse your filter every 2–4 weeks using a hose or cartridge cleaner.

  • Use a filter cleaning solution every 1–2 months for deep cleaning.

  • Replace your cartridge every 12–18 months, depending on usage.

Regular cleaning improves performance and extends filter life significantly.

Protect Your Pump and Heater

A clean filter is more than just a water-quality improvement—it’s vital protection for your spa’s equipment. The Unicel 5CH-352 keeps debris and oils from entering sensitive components like the circulation pump, jets, and heater, preventing clogging and reducing strain on the system.

With proper maintenance, you’ll enjoy smoother operation, quieter performance, and fewer costly repairs over time.

Trusted Reemay® Filtration Media

The Unicel 5CH-352 uses genuine Reemay® spunbond polyester, recognized as the industry gold standard for durability and efficiency. Reemay’s non-woven design provides deep particle capture and chemical resistance, allowing repeated cleanings without compromising filter integrity.

You’ll get:

  • Better dirt retention capacity

  • Consistent pore size for finer filtration

  • Superior structural strength under pressure

  • Longer cartridge lifespan compared to generic filters

It’s a difference you’ll see in both your water clarity and system performance.

When to Replace Your Filter

Even the best spa filters wear out over time. Replace your Unicel 5CH-352 when you notice:

  • Reduced water flow or pressure

  • Cloudy or murky water after cleaning

  • Visible cracks, fraying, or loose end caps

  • Excessive buildup that won’t rinse clean

Regular replacement helps maintain peak spa performance and keeps your water feeling fresh and inviting.
