Doughboy 239-060 Filter Cartridge
Doughboy OEM number • 60 sq ft • 7″ OD × 17.625″ long
239-060 is Doughboy's number for this cartridge, not a part you have to buy from Doughboy. The filter itself is a 60 square foot cartridge measuring 7 inches across and 17.625 inches long, and Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur all build it. If you read 239-060 off an old cartridge or found it in your manual, any of the numbers below drops into the same housing.
Doughboy also lists 2396-060 against this cartridge. Different numbers on paper, same filter in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What filter replaces the Doughboy 239-060?
The PD60SL replaces it directly, and so does every cross-reference for it: C-7403. All of them are the same 60 sq ft cartridge at 7" outer diameter and 17.625" long. Buy whichever is cheapest at the time with solid recent reviews. The same cartridge also shows up as Doughboy 2396-060, so those are not different filters either.
Is the Doughboy 239-060 the same as the PD60SL?
Yes, physically the same filter. Doughboy 239-060 is an OEM number, meaning it is the code Doughboy put on the cartridge that shipped with the equipment. Doughboy 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 Doughboy 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 Doughboy 239-060?
7 inches in outer diameter, 17.625 inches long, with 60 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.
