XtremepowerUS Pool Replacement Cartridge Filter 7" x 9.75" Washable Polyester Media Fits 75204 & More

XtremepowerUS replacement cartridge filter 7" diameter x 9.75" height is a direct-fit, washable pool and spa filter designed to restore filtration performance for compatible XtremepowerUS models.

When pool water becomes cloudy or flow slows, swapping in a properly sized cartridge restores circulation and debris capture. This XtremepowerUS cartridge matches the dimensions and connections of common replacement numbers (including 75204, CX250RE, XLS-736, AK-6074 and others), uses reinforced polyester media, and is built for repeated cleaning. It focuses on maximizing flow while trapping fine particles so pumps run efficiently and water remains clearer between routine maintenance cycles.

Will this cartridge fit my existing XtremepowerUS system?

Measure your old cartridge or the filter canister to confirm compatibility: this cartridge has a 7-inch outer diameter, 9.75-inch height, and a 2.9-inch inside diameter. It was manufactured to directly replace many XtremepowerUS part numbers and equivalent star cartridge models.

• Outer size: 7" diameter x 9.75" tall for direct fit.
• Core inner diameter: 2.9" for standard housings.
• Listed compatibilities include 75204, CX250RE, XLS-736, AK-6074, PA25, PC-1230, C-7626, FC-1230.

How does the filter media perform and how do I clean it?

The cartridge uses reinforced non-woven polyester media engineered for uniform pleats to trap debris while allowing good water throughput. Cleaning is simple: rinse with a hose, soak in a mild cleaning solution if oily buildup occurs, then rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. The media is reusable, holding up to many cleaning cycles without losing structural support.

• Non-woven polyester pleats for even debris capture and easy rinsing.
• Hose or soak-clean safe — designed for repeated maintenance.
• Durable core supports the pleats and maintains free flow.

What improvements in pool performance should I expect?

Replacing a worn cartridge typically increases water flow, reduces strain on the pump, and improves the filter’s ability to remove visible debris and fine particles. While results depend on pool size and system condition, a fresh cartridge helps the filtration system operate closer to its original hydraulic design.

• Restores higher flow rates compared with clogged or collapsed cartridges.
• Improves first-pass removal of leaves, hair, and fine particulates.
• Helps reduce odors and residual contaminants by capturing more solids.

How long will a replacement cartridge last?

Longevity varies with pool environment, bather load, and cleaning frequency; many users get multiple seasons of service from a single cartridge when it’s rinsed regularly and inspected. Heavy debris, poor water chemistry, or infrequent maintenance shorten life, while routine cleaning and balanced pool chemistry extend it.

• Typical lifespan: multiple cleanings and often multiple seasons when maintained.
• Inspect pleats for tearing, flattening, or discoloration to decide replacement time.
• Prompt replacement prevents pump strain and maintains filtration efficiency.

Who is this for: Pool owners and maintenance professionals who need a reliable, direct-replacement cartridge sized 7" x 9.75" for XtremepowerUS-compatible filter housings. It’s especially useful if you want a washable, reusable option that restores flow and filtration performance without modifying your existing system. Choose this cartridge when you need an affordable, OEM-compatible spare that balances dirt-holding capacity, cleanability, and structural support for everyday pool and spa upkeep.
