TOREAD PAP200 Pool Filter Cartridge 200 sq.ft. Replacement for Pentair Clean & Clear 200 — Trilobal Fabric, NSF Certified

The TOREAD PAP200 replacement cartridge is a high-capacity 200 sq.ft. pool filter designed to fit Pentair Clean & Clear 200 and similar systems, delivering longer life and easier cleaning.

Replace your worn cartridge with a durable, NSF/ANSI 50 certified filter built for reliable particle removal and reduced maintenance. TOREAD engineered this PAP200-style cartridge with thicker trilobal filtration fabric, reinforced components, and compatibility across many popular part numbers so you can restore circulation and clarity without replacing your existing tank or plumbing.

How does this cartridge improve pool clarity compared to a standard element?

The TOREAD PAP200 uses a 200-square-foot trilobal filtration fabric that captures finer debris and releases it easily during rinsing. Its increased filtration area and fabric thickness increase dirt-holding capacity and reduce frequency of replacements.

• 200 sq.ft. filtration area for higher dirt retention
• 25% thicker trilobal fabric traps fine particles
• Reinforced core and end caps resist collapse under pressure
• Certified to NSF/ANSI 50 for material safety and filtration performance

How do I clean and maintain this filter to maximize lifespan?

The trilobal fabric is designed to shed trapped debris during routine rinsing, restoring filtration efficiency without aggressive chemical treatments. Clean the cartridge every 2–3 weeks under typical conditions and avoid backwashing the element — the cartridge is not built for backwash cycles.

• Rinse with a steady hose every 2–3 weeks depending on use
• Avoid high-pressure backwashing to prevent structural damage
• Inspect end caps and core for cracks or chemical degradation
• Replace when cleaning no longer restores proper flow or clarity
