Opal XL Cartridge Filters - For Crystal Clear, Sparkling Water
 
The Opal cartridge filter provides sparkling clear water and requires minimal maintenance. The filter's screw on lock ring allows easy access to the filter cartridge for removal, cleaning and installation in a matter of minutes.
 
Features:
  • Air relief valve
  • Screw down lid, requires no clamps or tools for simple cartridge removal and replacement
  • 2" inlet and outlet ports for maximum flow and minimum back pressure
  • Heavy duty extra large pleated filter cartridge
Extra Large Filter Cartridge
Opal XL filter cartridges are fabricated from pleated reusable polyester fabric. The XL larger size cartridge has been pleated to provide 225ft2 to 270ft2 of surface area maximizing its dirt holding capacity and minimizing filter maintenance.
 
Rugged Construction
Constructed from high impact polypropylene and designed for easy maintenance, Opal XL cartridge filters house an extra large filter cartridge to maximize its dirt holding capacity and minimize filter maintenance, leading to significant water savings.
 
  • Material: Polyester Fabric material, Vinyl Plastisol end caps and a Polypropylene core
  • Operating Temperature: 40 Degrees F to 122 Degrees F
  • Maximum Pressure Drop: 3psi
  • Simple Maintenance: The filter cartridge is easily cleaned by hosing the pleats with a standard garden hose
 
Filtration Systems
Pool water free from debris and other contaminants is important for maintaining swimmers' health and safety, not to mention happiness. But the type of filter you need can differ depending on your filtration needs, financial situation and willingness to put time and effort into maintenance. Plus the quality of filtration depends on the size of the filter media; the finer the media, the higher the purity of water achieved.
 
How it works:
Cartridge filters typically use four cylindrical accordion pleated filters to trap anything larger than 30 microns, traditionally making them a higher filtration level than sand filters. However, this option can come with some extra costs and maintenance.
 
Pros:
No need for backwashing, no backwash line is required
  • Generally requires less space for installation
  • As no backwashing is required, requires less water for maintenance, more environmentally friendly than other kinds of filters
Cons:
Unlike other filters, there's no provision for backwashing; when the cartridge is clogged, it must be removed for cleaning
  • Needs to be disassembled and cleaned
  • Cartridges may need to be replaced more regularly than filter media, depending on level of use and care
