Pentair 150 SqFt Clean and Clear® RP Cartridge Filter

Pentair Clean & Clear® RP 150 Sq. Ft. Cartridge Filter

The Pentair Clean & Clear® RP 150 Square Foot Cartridge Filter is an ultra-efficient, single-element filtration system engineered to deliver superior water clarity for small to medium-sized residential swimming pools and heavy-duty spas. Featuring an innovative side-entry port design, this specialized "Recessed Pleat" (RP) model optimizes internal hydraulic flow to provide up to 50% greater energy efficiency than traditional single-cartridge filters on the market. The expansive 150 square feet of effective filtration area utilizes a premium coreless cartridge element that meticulously traps microscopic dirt, algae, and pollen particles down to 20 microns, greatly lengthening the intervals between routine cleanings. Constructed from a single piece of chemical-resistant, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene, the sleek unibody tank offers immense structural strength and total resistance to corrosion and harsh outdoor weathering. Because it traps debris entirely within its accessible fabric folds, the system operates flawlessly without backwashing, conserving thousands of gallons of chemically balanced water over the swimming season. It features oversized 2-inch by 2.5-inch unionized plumbing connections that support a robust maximum residential design flow rate of up to 150 gallons per minute (GPM), making it a perfect hydraulic match for energy-saving variable speed pumps. Routine maintenance is made simple by a low-force, quick-connect lock ring with an integrated safety latch for tool-free tank access, a continuous High Flow™ internal air relief system, and a 1-inch bottom drain plug for fast winterization. The dry shipping weight of the Pentair Clean & Clear RP 150 Cartridge Filter is approximately 35 pounds, providing a lightweight, compact, and eco-friendly centerpiece for advanced pool pad configurations.
