The Unicel 6CH-960 Spa Filter Cartridge is a high-quality replacement filter designed to restore proper water clarity, circulation, and filtration performance in compatible Jacuzzi spa systems. Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this cartridge replaces Jacuzzi part number 6540-471 and delivers reliable filtration that spa owners and service professionals trust.

Spa water is constantly exposed to body oils, lotions, debris, and fine particulates. Over time, even well-maintained filters lose efficiency as pleats wear down and media becomes restricted. Replacing a worn filter with the Unicel 6CH-960 helps ensure consistent water flow, effective contaminant removal, and reduced strain on spa pumps and heaters.

Known for precision construction and durable materials, Unicel spa filters are engineered to maintain structural integrity under heat, pressure, and chemical exposure common in spa environments.


Why the Unicel 6CH-960 Spa Filter Cartridge Matters

A properly functioning spa filter is essential to water quality and equipment longevity.

Why this matters:

  • Improves water clarity by trapping fine debris and contaminants

  • Maintains proper flow to protect pumps and heaters

  • Supports balanced water chemistry and sanitation effectiveness

Replacing the spa filter cartridge at the right interval helps prevent cloudy water and unnecessary equipment wear.


OEM-Quality Filtration Performance

The Unicel 6CH-960 spa filter cartridge is constructed using high-grade filtration media designed to capture fine particles while allowing consistent water flow. Its precision-molded end caps and reinforced core help the cartridge maintain its shape during operation, ensuring even pleat spacing and efficient filtration.

As an OEM-quality replacement, this Unicel filter is designed to match the fit, performance, and durability of the original Jacuzzi filter cartridge, making it a reliable solution for routine spa maintenance.


Durable, Washable, and Reusable Design

The Unicel 6CH-960 is built for repeated cleaning and reuse. With proper maintenance—such as regular rinsing and periodic deep cleaning—the cartridge can provide extended service life before replacement is required.

Maintaining a clean filter not only improves water clarity but also reduces stress on spa components by allowing water to circulate freely through the system.
