xOverview
The Unicel C-4950 replacement filter cartridge is designed for pool and hot tub use, packing 50 square feet of filtration media into 212 pleats. This setup helps trap fine debris down to an average of 20 microns, contributing to clearer water and steadier spa performance.
Why this filter stands out
The cartridge features sharp, uniform pleat folds that optimize water flow and reduce pressure loss. By giving more surface area to hold dirt, it helps keep circulating water freer of particulates between cleanings. The media is made from 100% polyester Reemay, chosen for a balanced mix of dirt-holding capacity, cleanability, durability, and chemical resistance.
