Frequently Asked Questions
What filter cartridge does the Artesian Platinum Elite use?
The Artesian Platinum Elite uses the PAS50SV-F2M filter cartridge (also sold as 6CH-502). Always check the label inside your filter compartment or owner manual to confirm before ordering - part numbers are also printed on the end cap of the existing cartridge.
How many filters does the Artesian Platinum Elite need?
The Artesian Platinum Elite uses 2 filter cartridges. When replacing, change all cartridges at the same time - mixing a worn cartridge with a new one forces the new filter to carry a disproportionate load, reducing its service life. Check the filter housing for all installed cartridges before ordering.
How often should I replace the filter on my Artesian Platinum Elite?
Most Artesian owners replace filter cartridges every 12-24 months, or sooner if water clarity declines despite regular cleaning. Rinse the cartridge monthly by spraying between the pleats at a 45-degree angle, and deep-clean it every 3-4 months with a dedicated hot tub filter cleaner. Replace it immediately if you notice torn or collapsed pleats, permanent brown staining, or a pressure rise that doesn't clear after cleaning.
