Frequently Asked Questions
What filter cartridge does the Pentair Clean & Clear 150 use?
The Pentair Clean & Clear 150 uses the PAP150 (interchangeable with C-9415). Confirm the correct quantity in your owner's manual - the filter housing may also have a label indicating the part number.
How often should I replace the cartridge in my Pentair Clean & Clear 150?
At 150 sq ft, the filter cartridge in the Pentair Clean & Clear 150 has substantial filtration area. In typical residential use with balanced water chemistry, expect 18-24 months of service life. Inspect it every 4-6 months - if the pressure gauge reads more than 8-10 psi above the clean starting pressure, it's time to clean or replace.
How do I clean the filter cartridge in a Pentair Clean & Clear 150?
Turn off the pump and release pressure from the filter tank (open the air relief valve) before opening the housing. Remove the cartridge and rinse thoroughly with a garden hose, directing the stream at a 45-degree angle between the pleats. For a deeper clean, soak overnight in a pool filter cleaner solution, then rinse completely before reinstalling. Never use a pressure washer - it collapses the pleats and permanently reduces filtration.
