Product Overview
The Filbur FC-6475 Replacement Cartridge 4-Pack is a complete replacement filter set designed for compatible Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 520 cartridge filters.
Each cartridge is rated by Filbur at approximately 125 sq. ft. of filtration area, providing a complete four-cartridge replacement set for the 520 sq. ft. Clean & Clear Plus filter family.
Filbur cartridges are engineered for dependable dirt-holding capacity, efficient water flow, and long service life. The FC-6475 uses 4 oz. filtration media, molded end caps, and PVC extruded center cores designed to maintain cartridge strength under normal pool-filtration pressure.
This four-pack is the Filbur quad-pack equivalent of the individual FC-1978 cartridge and cross-references common Pentair, Pleatco, and Unicel replacements used in the Clean & Clear Plus 520.

125 Sq Ft vs. 130 Sq Ft Naming
You’ll see this cartridge marketed both ways online.
Many distributors refer to the FC-6475 as a 130 sq. ft. cartridge, largely because the Pleatco cross-reference is PCC130. However, Filbur’s own current catalog rates FC-6475 at 125 sq. ft. per cartridge.
For your Shopify listing, I would use:
Title:
Filbur 130 Sq Ft Clean & Clear Plus 520 Cartridge 4-Pack | FC-6475
Then in the specifications, use:
Manufacturer-Rated Media Area: 125 Sq Ft Per Cartridge
That keeps you aligned with how customers search while still keeping the technical data accurate.
Why Replace All Four Cartridges Together?
Replacing all four filter cartridges at the same time can help provide:
- Balanced water flow
- Consistent filter pressure
- Even debris loading
- Similar cartridge service life
- Improved overall filtration
- Easier maintenance scheduling
A mixed set of old and new cartridges can create uneven resistance inside the filter.
Maintenance Tips
For maximum cartridge life:
- Rinse cartridges thoroughly with a garden hose.
- Clean carefully between individual pleats.
- Avoid excessive high-pressure spray that can damage the media.
- Inspect the center core and end caps during every cleaning.
- Replace cartridges that are torn, cracked, collapsed, or permanently clogged.
- Use an appropriate cartridge cleaner when oils or mineral deposits are present.
- Maintain proper pool-water chemistry.
