Aladdin 17541 Filter Cartridge
Aladdin OEM number • 75 sq ft • 7.125″ OD × 10.5″ long
17541 is Aladdin's number for this cartridge, not a part you have to buy from Aladdin. The filter itself is a 75 square foot cartridge measuring 7.125 inches across and 10.5 inches long, and Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur all build it. If you read 17541 off an old cartridge or found it in your manual, any of the numbers below drops into the same housing.
Fitment notes
Castellated (castle) top ring over a twist-lock bottom, which is what separates this from the earlier PDO75 and its threaded SAE fitting. Unicel confirms the design on its C-7367, publishing it as 7-1/8 by 10-1/2 inches at 75 sq ft with an open twist-lock end, reached from Dimension One OEM 1561-00, and dates it to models built after 2000. Dimension One Nautilus, Reflection and Triad.

Frequently Asked Questions
What filter replaces the Aladdin 17541?
The PDO75-2000 replaces it directly, and so does every cross-reference for it: C-7367, FC-3059. All of them are the same 75 sq ft cartridge at 7.125" outer diameter and 10.5" long. Buy whichever is cheapest at the time with solid recent reviews. The same cartridge also shows up as Dimension One 01561-00-A, Dimension One 1561-00, so those are not different filters either.
Is the Aladdin 17541 the same as the PDO75-2000?
Yes, physically the same filter. Aladdin 17541 is an OEM number, meaning it is the code Aladdin put on the cartridge that shipped with the equipment. Aladdin does not manufacture cartridges. Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur do, and they sell the identical part under their own numbers at a lower price. Match the dimensions against your old cartridge before ordering and you are covered.
Do I have to buy the Aladdin version?
No. Nothing about the housing requires an OEM-branded cartridge, and the warranty on your equipment is not voided by using an aftermarket filter that meets the same spec. The reason to buy OEM is convenience, not performance. The reason not to is price, which is often a meaningful gap for an identical part. What matters is that outer diameter, length, and end-cap style all match.
What size is the Aladdin 17541?
7.125 inches in outer diameter, 10.5 inches long, with 75 square feet of filter media. Both measurements need to land within about an eighth of an inch, and the end caps have to match so the cartridge seats correctly when you close the lid. Measure your old one rather than trusting a number that has worn off the label.
