iLiving Pool & Spa Filter Replacement Cartridge 175 sq ft — 28.19 in, Trilobal Media, Chlorine-Resistant

The iLiving ILG8CF-175A is a 175 sq ft replacement cartridge designed to restore high-flow, fine-filtration performance for compatible pool and spa systems.

This cartridge uses a trilobal-fiber media and durable construction to trap fine sediment, hair, leaves and other debris while resisting damage from chlorine. Engineered to fit popular OEM part numbers, the ILG8CF-175A delivers a large filtration area and robust end-cap design so you can get clear water and longer service life without replacing your entire filter housing.

How does this cartridge improve water clarity compared to a standard filter?

The iLiving cartridge’s trilobal fibers provide a larger effective surface area than conventional point-bond media, which captures more particles and keeps them locked in the media. That means fewer fines recirculating through the pump and clearer water between cleanings.

• 175 square feet of filtration area for high dirt-holding capacity
• Trilobal media increases surface area and particle capture
• Dirt-lock technology helps retain debris inside the pleats
• Reduces frequency of vacuuming and chemical adjustments

Will this unit fit my existing Hayward, Unicel, Filbur or Sta-Rite cartridge housing?

The ILG8CF-175A is made to be physically compatible with multiple OEM part numbers so it slides into many standard cartridge housings. Always compare measurements and part references before purchase to confirm fit.

• Height (length): 28 3/16” — matches common C1750-style cartridges
• Outer diameter: 8 5/16” and inner diameter (top & bottom): 4”
• Cross-references: Hayward C1750/CX1750RE/PA175/Ultral-B4
• Also compatible with Unicel C-8417, Filbur FC-1294, Sta-Rite PXC175 / 817-0175P

How durable is the iLiving replacement cartridge under regular pool conditions?

This cartridge combines a high-impact molded end cap with chlorine-resistant materials and an integral forming process to withstand pressure and chemical exposure. The design minimizes cracking and deformation, extending the time between replacements.

• High-impact end cap for protection against bumps and pressure
• Chlorine-resistant components for longevity in treated pools
• High-density pleat holes and strong media resist collapse under flow
• Tested and certified by IAPMO to NSF/ANSI 50 material safety standards

How should I maintain and clean the cartridge for best results?

Cleaning the cartridge regularly preserves flow and filtration efficiency; a thorough rinse and occasional deep clean will reduce buildup and prolong service life. Avoid harsh mechanical abrasion that could damage the trilobal fibers.

• Rinse with a garden hose between weekly checks to remove surface debris
• Use a cartridge cleaner soak for seasonal deep cleaning to dissolve oils and minerals
• Inspect end caps and pleats for tears or deformation during each service
• Replace when pleats show permanent clogging or significant fiber wear

Who is this for: The iLiving ILG8CF-175A suits pool and spa owners who need a high-capacity, durable replacement cartridge compatible with multiple OEM models. It’s ideal for backyard pools, light-commercial spas, and anyone who wants improved filtration performance, longer intervals between cleanings, and a cartridge built to resist chlorine and physical stress.
