Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Excel Filters
How do I know which filter fits my pool or spa?
The easiest way is to use our Filter Finder tool. Simply enter your current filter's part number, usually printed on the end cap, or select your equipment brand and model. You can also use our How to Measure guide to compare dimensions. If you're still unsure, contact us and our team can help identify the correct replacement.
What replacement filter do I need for my Hayward® system?
Use the part number on your existing cartridge or match by dimensions and Hayward® filter model. Our Filter Finder tool can narrow compatible Excel replacements by brand, size, and system, or you can browse Hayward® replacement filter cartridges.
Are Excel Filters compatible with OEM equipment like Pentair® and Jandy®?
What makes Excel Filters better than other replacement pool filters?
Excel Filters are engineered with durable end caps, strong filtration media, and free-flow core designs to deliver reliable performance at factory-direct pricing. You can shop all available options in our pool and spa filter collection.
How often should I replace my pool filter cartridge?
Replacement timing depends on use, water conditions, and maintenance. Inspect and clean your filter regularly, and replace it when cleaning no longer restores proper flow or filtration performance. See our Care & Maintenance guide for cleaning tips.
Do you offer bulk discounts for pool service professionals?
Yes. Pool pros and retailers can apply through our partner program for wholesale pricing, dedicated support, and partner benefits.
How do I clean and maintain my filter?
