Excel Filters makes replacement cartridges for Waterway® top-load / low-profile spa filters — the 45 sq ft (PLBS50) and 75 sq ft (PLBS75) elements, which also fit the matching Leisure Bay S2/G2 and Waters Edge top-load housings. Match the PLBS number on your cartridge for OEM-spec fit.
Match the Unicel C-53-series number or the PLBS part number on the cartridge end cap. These single-element top-load cartridges also fit the matching Leisure Bay and Waters Edge spa housings.
Read the PLBS number or the Unicel C-53-series number on the cartridge end cap — PLBS50 / C-5345 is the 45 sq ft element (XLS-511) and PLBS75 / C-5374 is the 75 sq ft element (XLS-512) — or measure the cartridge length.
Yes — the same elements fit the Leisure Bay S2/G2 and Waters Edge top-load spa housings in the matching 45 and 75 sq ft sizes.
No. Excel Filters cartridges are aftermarket replacements manufactured in the USA to OEM dimensions and media area. They are not affiliated with or endorsed by Waterway.
