The Unicel C-8417 is a high-quality replacement cartridge filter designed for use in compatible pool and spa filtration systems. This cartridge is engineered to provide efficient debris removal while maintaining proper water flow, helping keep pool water clear and circulation systems operating smoothly.

Cartridge filters like the C-8417 trap dirt, debris, oils, and fine particles as water passes through the pleated filter media. Over time, the filter material becomes loaded with contaminants that cannot be fully removed through cleaning alone. When this happens, water flow is restricted, operating pressure increases, and overall filtration performance declines.

Replacing a worn or saturated cartridge restores proper flow, improves filtration efficiency, and helps protect pumps, heaters, and other downstream equipment from unnecessary strain.

Why the Filter Cartridge Matters

The filter cartridge is central to water clarity and system health.

Why this matters:

• Removes dirt, debris, and fine contaminants from pool water

• Maintains proper circulation and flow rates

• Prevents excessive pressure buildup in the filter system

• Reduces strain on pumps and heaters

• Helps keep water clear and balanced

A clogged or deteriorated cartridge can lead to cloudy water, higher energy use, and premature equipment wear.

Designed for Reliable Filtration Performance

The Unicel C-8417 is manufactured using high-quality filtration media designed to provide consistent particle capture and long service life. The pleated design maximizes surface area, allowing the cartridge to hold more debris while maintaining efficient water flow.

Unicel cartridges are known for uniform pleat spacing, durable end caps, and strong internal support, all of which contribute to reliable performance under normal pool operating conditions. Using the correct replacement cartridge ensures proper fit, sealing, and filtration efficiency.

Always confirm filter model compatibility before installation.

Easy Replacement and Routine Maintenance

Replacing the Unicel C-8417 cartridge is a straightforward maintenance task that can be performed during routine service intervals. Regular inspection and replacement help maintain optimal filtration and reduce stress on the circulation system.

For best results, cartridges should be cleaned regularly and replaced when pressure remains elevated after cleaning or when the media shows signs of wear or damage. Proper maintenance helps extend the life of the filter housing and connected equipment.
