Why This Filter Stands Out

If you’re upgrading a large residential pool or coordinating a pool-and-spa system, the CC150 delivers dependable, low-maintenance filtration with a focus on efficiency and ease of service. The combination of a high-filtration-area cartridge, no-backwash design, and user-friendly air-relief features minimizes maintenance time and water waste while maximizing filtration performance. The included cartridge and robust tank construction ensure you’re investing in a durable solution that stands up to outdoor conditions and chemical exposure.

installation considerations include allowing for approximately 76 inches of vertical clearance and ensuring 2-inch piping with a 1.5-inch drain line. With its 150 GPM capacity and 150 sq. ft. filtration area, this filter is purpose-built for larger residential pools, spa combinations, and installations requiring high-flow, efficient circulation.
