Jandy/Zodiac R0554500 Filter Cartridge
Jandy/Zodiac OEM number • 85 sq ft • 7″ OD × 26.9375″ long
R0554500 is Jandy/Zodiac's number for this cartridge, not a part you have to buy from Jandy/Zodiac. The filter itself is a 85 square foot cartridge measuring 7 inches across and 26.9375 inches long, and Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur all build it. If you read R0554500 off an old cartridge or found it in your manual, any of the numbers below drops into the same housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What filter replaces the Jandy/Zodiac R0554500?
The PJAN85 replaces it directly, and so does every cross-reference for it: C-7459, FC-0800. All of them are the same 85 sq ft cartridge at 7" outer diameter and 26.9375" long. Buy whichever is cheapest at the time with solid recent reviews.
Is the Jandy/Zodiac R0554500 the same as the PJAN85?
Yes, physically the same filter. Jandy/Zodiac R0554500 is an OEM number, meaning it is the code Jandy/Zodiac put on the cartridge that shipped with the equipment. Jandy/Zodiac 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 Jandy/Zodiac 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 Jandy/Zodiac R0554500?
7 inches in outer diameter, 26.9375 inches long, with 85 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.
