Premium Filtration for Clean, Clear, and Balanced Spa Water
Keep your Jacuzzi® spa water sparkling clean with the Unicel 6CH-960 Spa Filter Cartridge, a professional-grade replacement filter designed for maximum clarity, flow, and durability. Engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance, this high-efficiency cartridge is the go-to choice for spa owners who demand dependable filtration and easy maintenance.

OEM-Compatible Design for Jacuzzi® Spas
The Unicel 6CH-960 Spa Filter Cartridge is a direct replacement for many OEM Jacuzzi® spa filters, offering precise fitment and consistent performance. Its 6-inch diameter and 8-inch length make it a perfect match for most Jacuzzi hot tubs using threaded-bottom cartridges.

Sundance® Spas with compatible 6CH filters

Other brands that use 6" x 8" cartridges with 1½" MPT threaded ends

Built for Strength and Longevity
Every Unicel cartridge is designed to handle the demanding conditions of spa environments—hot water, chemical exposure, and continuous filtration cycles. The 6CH-960 features a reinforced ABS core that resists cracking and collapse, along with high-strength end caps that maintain a tight seal over time.
This combination of rugged construction and precision engineering ensures long-term performance even under heavy usage.
Premium Reemay® Filtration Media
At the heart of the Unicel 6CH-960 is genuine Reemay® spunbond polyester, the industry standard for reliability and filtration quality. Reemay’s unique design features uniform pore structure and superior chemical resistance, allowing it to trap both large and fine debris while standing up to repeated cleaning cycles.

Deep filtration depth for superior contaminant capture.
-
Durable fibers resist fraying and clogging.
-
Chemical-resistant to chlorine, bromine, and ozone.

You’ll notice cleaner, softer water with fewer chemical adjustments—ideal for both residential and commercial spa owners.
Easy Maintenance and Cleaning
The Unicel 6CH-960 is designed for easy upkeep. Regular maintenance keeps your water fresh and your system efficient.
Cleaning Steps
-
Turn off your spa system and remove the old filter.
-
Rinse the new 6CH-960 with a garden hose before installation.
-
Insert and tighten the threaded fitting by hand.
-
For cleaning, rinse every 2–4 weeks and deep clean monthly with a cartridge cleaner.
For best results, replace the filter every 12–18 months depending on spa usage and water conditions.
Protect Your Spa Equipment
A clean filter not only keeps your water sparkling—it protects vital components like the circulation pump, heater, and jets. The Unicel 6CH-960 maintains proper flow and pressure, preventing clogs, overheating, and excessive strain on your system.
By investing in a high-quality replacement like Unicel, you extend the life of your equipment and enjoy worry-free operation.
Environmentally Conscious and Cost-Effective
Unicel cartridges are designed for long service life and reusability. Instead of replacing cheap, low-quality filters every few months, you can rinse and reuse your 6CH-960 dozens of times before needing a new one—reducing waste and saving money in the long run.
Combined with energy-efficient flow and fewer chemical demands, it’s a smart, sustainable choice for spa owners.
