Dimension One 01561-00-A Filter Cartridge
Dimension One OEM number • 75 sq ft • 7.125″ OD × 10.5″ long
01561-00-A is Dimension One's number for this cartridge, not a part you have to buy from Dimension One. 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 01561-00-A off an old cartridge or found it in your manual, any of the numbers below drops into the same housing.
Dimension One also lists 1561-00 against this cartridge. Different numbers on paper, same filter in the box.
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 Dimension One 01561-00-A?
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 Aladdin 17541, Dimension One 1561-00, so those are not different filters either.
Is the Dimension One 01561-00-A the same as the PDO75-2000?
Yes, physically the same filter. Dimension One 01561-00-A is an OEM number, meaning it is the code Dimension One put on the cartridge that shipped with the equipment. Dimension One 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 Dimension One 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 Dimension One 01561-00-A?
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.
