Wellspring 1000282 Filter Cartridge
Wellspring OEM number • 30 sq ft • 8″ OD × 6.25″ long
1000282 is Wellspring's number for this cartridge, not a part you have to buy from Wellspring. The filter itself is a 30 square foot cartridge measuring 8 inches across and 6.25 inches long, and Pleatco, Unicel, and Filbur all build it. If you read 1000282 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 Wellspring 1000282?
The PBF40 replaces it directly, and so does every cross-reference for it: FC-9900. All of them are the same 30 sq ft cartridge at 8" outer diameter and 6.25" long. Buy whichever is cheapest at the time with solid recent reviews. The same cartridge also shows up as Bullfrog 10-00282, so those are not different filters either.
Is the Wellspring 1000282 the same as the PBF40?
Yes, physically the same filter. Wellspring 1000282 is an OEM number, meaning it is the code Wellspring put on the cartridge that shipped with the equipment. Wellspring 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 Wellspring 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 Wellspring 1000282?
8 inches in outer diameter, 6.25 inches long, with 30 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.
