This OEM center core is designed specifically for Clean \u0026amp; Clear cartridge pool and spa filters with 150, 175 or 200 square feet of filtration area, enabling a secure fit without modifying the cartridge shell. Installing a new center core is an economical way to refresh a worn filter when the pleats and media remain in good condition but the central support has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this center core improve my cartridge filter's performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy replacing a damaged or weakened central tube, the cartridge maintains its intended shape under pressure and during backwash cycles.
