The Unicel C-8414 Pool Filter Cartridge is an OEM-quality replacement cartridge engineered to restore filtration performance, circulation efficiency, and water clarity in compatible cartridge pool filter systems. Featuring 150 square feet of pleated filtration media, this cartridge is designed to capture dirt, debris, and fine contaminants while maintaining proper water flow through the filtration system.

Cartridge filters rely on clean, evenly loaded pleats to function effectively. As cartridges age, debris buildup and pleat compaction restrict flow, increase system pressure, and place added strain on pool pumps and plumbing. Replacing a worn cartridge with the Unicel C-8414 helps reestablish balanced filtration, reduce operating pressure, and protect circulation equipment from unnecessary wear.

Unicel cartridges are widely trusted by pool professionals for their precise fit, durable construction, and consistent performance across residential pool systems.


Why the Unicel C-8414 Filter Cartridge Matters

Proper filtration directly impacts water quality and equipment longevity.

Why this matters:

  • Improves water clarity by capturing fine debris and contaminants

  • Maintains proper flow to reduce strain on pumps and plumbing

  • Helps stabilize system pressure for consistent filtration performance

Replacing the cartridge at the proper interval supports cleaner water and reliable pool operation.


OEM-Quality Filtration Construction

The Unicel C-8414 cartridge is manufactured using high-grade pleated filtration media designed to maximize surface area while allowing consistent water flow. Reinforced end caps and a rigid internal core help the cartridge maintain its shape under continuous operating pressure.

Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this cartridge is designed for proper fit, effective sealing, and long service life in demanding pool environments.


Washable and Reusable Design

The Unicel C-8414 pool filter cartridge is washable and reusable with proper maintenance. Routine rinsing and periodic deep cleaning help extend cartridge life and maintain optimal filtration efficiency between replacements.

Proper cleaning also helps reduce system pressure and improve circulation performance.
