Built to OEM dimensions for Coleman / Maax Coleman and Maax Spas cartridge filter systems, this replacement matches the original cartridge geometry, end-cap style, and media surface area — without the OEM markup. It directly replaces aftermarket Pleatco PMAX50P4, Unicel 5CH-35, and Filbur FC-0300 part numbers — the full cross-reference list is in the Compatibility tab. Every cartridge is manufactured in our Austin, TX facility, ships free, and is backed by the Excel Filters Perfect Fit Guarantee on its listed cross-references.
The XLS-526 12PACK 12-pack replacement cartridge is engineered for Coleman® and built for dependable day-to-day filtration performance. Each cartridge is sized at 5 5/8" diameter x 8" length, with Semi-Circle Handle top and 1.5" Male NPT bottom end caps for direct-fit installation with no housing modifications.
Measure your old cartridge cap-to-cap. A variance of ⅛" is normal — anything larger likely means a different housing model.

No — it is an aftermarket replacement cartridge manufactured by Excel Filters in Austin, TX and built to OEM dimensions and media specs. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original equipment manufacturer.
Most pool and spa cartridges last one to two seasons depending on bather load and water chemistry. Rinse the cartridge monthly during heavy use and replace it when cleaning no longer restores flow or the pleats show wear.
First double-check the part number on your old cartridge against the Compatibility list on this page — most fit problems trace back to ordering for a different housing model than the listing covers. If you still have a fit question, contact us at (888) 532-2801 and our team will help you confirm the right cartridge before or after you order; returns are handled under our standard return policy.
