PELLUCID CC200 pool filter cartridge is a direct-fit replacement cartridge designed to restore efficient filtration for Pentair Clean & Clear CC200, R173217 and compatible systems.

If your pool or spa is slowing down, clouding, or needing more frequent backwashes, replacing the cartridge with a properly sized element can bring circulation and clarity back faster than chemical tweaks alone. This PELLUCID CC200 replacement offers a 200 sq.ft. media area, a sturdy single-piece backbone and durable end caps engineered to withstand regular pool chemicals and cleaning routines.

How does this cartridge match my Pentair CC200 or R173217 housing?

This cartridge is manufactured to the same key dimensions and fit profile used by Pentair CC200-style filters, making installation straightforward and leak-free when seated correctly. PELLUCID designs this unit as an aftermarket alternative that fits without adapter parts in most compatible models.

• Length: 31 1/8" and outer diameter: 10 1/16" for correct housing fit
• Top and bottom openings: 6" each, matching CC200-style end fittings
• Material surface area: 200 sq.ft. for adequate dirt-holding capacity

What filtration performance can I expect from the Trilobal fiber media?

The cartridge uses a trilobal fiber weave that increases surface area and captures a wide range of contaminants while resisting chlorine degradation. It efficiently traps leaves, hair, sand and fine sediments to help preserve water clarity between cleanings.

• High dirt-holding capacity reduces the frequency of full cleanings
• Improved resistance to chlorine and pool chemicals for longer life
• Designed to balance fine particle capture with acceptable flow rates

How do I clean and maintain the PELLUCID CC200 filter cartridge?

Routine maintenance keeps filtration at peak performance: scrub the pleats with a cartridge brush every two weeks and rinse thoroughly with a garden hose to dislodge trapped debris. For deeper cleaning, use a cartridge cleaner solution following the manufacturer’s instructions, then allow the element to dry before reinstalling or storing.

• Recommended light scrubbing every 2 weeks with a cartridge brush
• Rinse pleats with a hose; use dedicated cleaner for mineral or oil buildup
• Inspect end caps and spine for damage at each cleaning

How long will this aftermarket cartridge last and what materials determine its durability?

Service life depends on pool usage, water chemistry and maintenance frequency; the trilobal media and chemical-resistant end caps are chosen to extend usable life compared with basic fabrics. The backbone is a single-piece carbon-fiber style support for structural integrity under pressure and repeated cleanings.

• Durable end caps resist common pool chemicals
• One-piece backbone supports the pleats and prevents collapse
• Expected longer life with regular maintenance versus low-grade media

Who is this replacement cartridge intended for? Owners of Pentair Clean & Clear CC200, CCRP200, R173217 and the many cross-compatible models who need an economical high-performance aftermarket cartridge will find this unit suitable. It’s aimed at homeowners, pool service professionals and property managers who want a reliable, easy-to-install cartridge with robust filament media and clear sizing. Note: PELLUCID produces aftermarket filters and this product is not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Pentair part; compatibility is confirmed by measurements and common model references.
