Engineered as a direct-fit compatible element, the SDEAUP 27002-0150S includes reinforced end caps, a stretch bandage to keep the media cloth uniform, and the exhaust/air-bleed assembly required for installation. With overall dimensions designed to match the PLM150 layout, it offers a straightforward swap to get systems running cleanly again.

How does this cartridge match the Sta‑Rite PLM150 system?

The SDEAUP 27002-0150S was manufactured to align with the Sta‑Rite System 2 PLM150 modular media geometry and mounting points. Its height and diameter follow the same footprint for an easy replacement without modifications.

• Compatible with Sta‑Rite System 2 Model PLM150 modular media filters.
• Includes the 24800-0121 air-bleed/exhaust assembly for proper venting.
• Designed to match original filter element dimensions for direct fit.

What are the physical size and construction details?

The element measures to the same working scale as common PLM150 cartridges so it installs into the housing with the same clearances. Construction emphasizes durable end caps and a cloth layout that resists sagging for consistent water flow and filter loading.

• Overall dimensions correspond to the PLM150 cartridge cavity.
• Sturdy end caps bonded to the filter fabric for long service life.
• Stretch bandage holds the media cloth tight to prevent spreading.

What comes in the box and how do I install it?

The package contains the SDEAUP 27002-0150S cartridge element and the 24800-0121 air bleed/exhaust assembly so you have the parts needed to complete a standard element replacement. Installation follows the same steps as replacing any PLM150 modular media cartridge: drain and open the filter, remove the old element, seat the new element and reattach the air-bleed assembly, then reassemble the housing and test for leaks.

• Included: one 27002-0150S filter cartridge and one 24800-0121 air bleed assembly.
• Simple swap: remove old element, install new cartridge, connect air-bleed, reassemble.
• Inspect gaskets and clamps during reinstallation for best sealing.

How long should I expect usable life and maintenance needs?

Service life depends on pool conditions, backwash schedule, and D.E. usage, but the reinforced cloth and end caps aim to extend durability compared with loosely constructed alternatives. Regular cleaning of D.E. media and following the system’s maintenance cycle will keep the element performing efficiently.

• Durable end caps and secured media reduce premature wear.
• Follow your pool’s D.E. addition and cleaning intervals for best results.
• Inspect the element each season and replace if cloth shows damage or excess wear.

Who is this for: Pool owners and service technicians using Sta‑Rite System 2 Model PLM150 modular D.E. filters who need a reliable, compatible replacement cartridge with the necessary air-bleed assembly included. This product suits anyone looking to restore filtration performance without sourcing an OEM part, provided they accept a compatible aftermarket component rather than the original brand.
