Jacuzzi® Spa & Pool Filter Buying Guide

Identify your CFR, TriClops, or Premium spa cartridge and match the right replacement.

This guide helps you identify which cartridge your Jacuzzi® spa or pool filter takes and when to replace it. Spa cartridges in particular run on short cleaning cycles, so knowing your part number makes swap-outs quick.

How to identify your Jacuzzi® filter cartridge

  1. Check the end cap and tank label. Jacuzzi® cartridge part numbers are printed on an end cap, and the filter model appears on the housing label; either one identifies the replacement size.
  2. Match the number. Every Excel Filters product page lists the OEM part numbers and housings it replaces, plus the matching Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur cross-reference numbers. You can also look up any part number on our cross-reference chart.
  3. No legible number? Measure outer diameter, length, and both end caps — our how to measure your filter cartridge guide walks through each dimension.

Which Jacuzzi® filter system do you have?

  • Jacuzzi® CFR Series Cartridge Filters One of Jacuzzi's most recognized cartridge filter lines, widely used in pool and spa applications for excellent water clarity.
  • Jacuzzi® Premium Spa Filters Dependable filtration for Jacuzzi® spa systems to help maintain clean, balanced spa water.
  • Jacuzzi® TriClops Cartridge Filters Heavy-duty, high-capacity cartridge filters for residential and commercial pools with exceptional dirt-holding capacity.

Cleaning and replacing your Jacuzzi® cartridge

Rinse the cartridge with a garden hose every few weeks during swim season, spraying at an angle to flush debris from between the pleats. Deep-clean with a cartridge cleaning solution at least once a season to remove the oils and scale rinsing leaves behind — our care and maintenance guide covers the full routine. Most cartridges last 12 to 24 months: replace yours when cleaning no longer restores water flow, the pleats fray or stay discolored, or an end cap cracks.
