PELLUCID PDM30 Oval Spa Filter Compatible with Dream Maker 461269 — 30 sq ft, Thick Trilobal Media

PELLUCID PDM30 is an oval 30 sq.ft. replacement spa filter designed to fit Dream Maker models using part 461269, delivering improved dirt capture and longer service life.

This PELLUCID PDM30 hot tub filter is an aftermarket replacement cartridge engineered to match the oval dimensions and connection style of Dream Maker 461269 / PDM 30 filters. It combines a larger filtration area, thicker trilobal fabric, and a reinforced core to trap debris such as hair, dust, and sediment while resisting chlorine and normal spa chemicals. The cartridge is intended for owners who need a durable, easy-to-clean filter that restores water clarity and circulation without the cost of an OEM part.

How will this filter fit my Dream Maker hot tub?

The PDM30 is shaped and sized to work as a compatible replacement for Dream Maker part 461269 and PDM 30-style cartridges. Verify the oval outer diameter and top/bottom opening measurements against your existing cartridge to ensure a correct match.

• Outer dimensions: oval 6-1/4" x 5-1/4" (width across widest points).
• Total length: 9-3/4" end-to-end.
• Top opening: 3" round; bottom opening: 4-1/8" x 3" oval.
• Filtration area: 30 square feet, ideal for listed Dream Maker models and compatible crossovers.

What filtration performance can I expect from the PELLUCID PDM30?

This cartridge uses a trilobal fabric with an advanced "dirt-locking" structure and 25% thicker media than some standard replacements. The combination improves particle capture and resists chemical breakdown so the filter remains effective over many cleaning cycles.

• Trilobal fabric traps finer debris and releases it more easily during cleaning.
• 25% thicker filtration media increases contaminant-holding capacity.
• Chlorine-resistant materials help maintain integrity in treated water.
• Removes hair, leaves, sand, dust, and sediment to protect pump and heater components.

How do I clean and maintain this spa filter to extend its life?

Routine maintenance keeps the PDM30 efficient and extends its usable lifespan. Light maintenance can be done every two weeks; deeper cleaning and inspection every 1–3 months depending on spa usage and water conditions.

• Brush the pleats with a cartridge-cleaning tool to loosen trapped debris.
• Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose, directing water between pleats to flush out dirt.
• For heavily soiled cartridges, soak in a filter-cleaning solution per product directions before rinsing.
• Inspect end caps and core for cracks; replace if damaged to avoid circulation issues.

Why choose this aftermarket PELLUCID filter instead of an OEM cartridge?

PELLUCID manufactures this replacement with reinforced components and a strong core to deliver durable performance at a lower cost than many original equipment options. While it is not an OEM part, the design focuses on equal or improved filtration efficiency and longevity.

• Sturdy carbon-fiber-reinforced core reduces cracking risk under normal use.
• Heavy-duty, break-resistant end caps for reliable sealing and handling.
• Cost-effective alternative that still meets the dimensional and functional needs of Dream Maker systems.
• Engineered for longer service life with consistent particle removal.
