Fit note This kit converts a Sta-Rite System 3 S7M120 or S7M400 to take three Excel Filters XLS-894 cartridges. It is not a drop-in OEM cartridge.

Before you buy: System 3® retrofit fitment check

  1. Housing model — confirm the tank label: S7M120 / S7M400 or S8M150 / S8M500.
  2. Installed conversion-kit version — retrofit cartridges match the conversion kit that is installed, not the tank family alone. Check which kit (and version) is in the tank now.
  3. Cartridge count — verify how many elements your kit takes before ordering.

Measurements for this kit are not listed. Not sure which kit you have? Call us at (888) 532-2801 or contact us with your tank model and a photo of the installed manifold, and we will confirm the right kit before you order.
