Sundance 6540-483 Filter Cartridge
Sundance OEM number • 75 sq ft • 7.5625″ OD × 17.75″ long
6540-483 is Sundance's number for this cartridge, not a part you have to buy from Sundance. The filter itself is a 75 square foot cartridge measuring 7.5625 inches across and 17.75 inches long, and Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur all build it. If you read 6540-483 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, 2-2/3 inch bottom opening. Replaces Sundance OEM 6540-483. Cross-reference warning: Pleatco's 2008 catalog gives the Unicel equivalent as C-7340, a number Unicel no longer publishes. Unicel's current part for OEM 6540-483 is the C-7370, at 75 sq ft and 7-1/2 by 17-3/4 inches, which matches this cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What filter replaces the Sundance 6540-483?
The PSD75 replaces it directly, and so does every cross-reference for it: C-7370, FC-2760. All of them are the same 75 sq ft cartridge at 7.5625" outer diameter and 17.75" long. Buy whichever is cheapest at the time with solid recent reviews.
Is the Sundance 6540-483 the same as the PSD75?
Yes, physically the same filter. Sundance 6540-483 is an OEM number, meaning it is the code Sundance put on the cartridge that shipped with the equipment. Sundance 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 Sundance 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 Sundance 6540-483?
7.5625 inches in outer diameter, 17.75 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.
