Pentair Clean & Clear RP Filters - 1 Year Warranty

Single Cartridge Filter System with Radial Pleat Technology

Achieve exceptionally clear and clean pool water with minimal effort using Pentair Clean & Clear® RP Filters. These innovative filters feature a single-cartridge design with radial pleats (RP), providing nearly 50% more efficiency than other single-cartridge filters. The design maximizes filtration area, traps particles as small as 20 microns, and simplifies maintenance, making it a top choice for hassle-free, high-performance pool filtration.

  • Highly Efficient Filtration: Unique side-entry port and radial pleat cartridge design optimize flow and trap particles as small as 20 microns.
  • Easy Maintenance: The single, super-efficient cartridge is easy to remove and rinse with a garden hose, eliminating the need for backwashing and saving water.
  • Durable Construction: Features a chemical-resistant, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene tank for exceptional strength and longevity.
  • User-Friendly Design: A low-force, quick-connect diamond-seal clamp ring fastens easily with no tools required for quick access to the cartridge. An easy-turn lock ring is also a feature on many models.
  • Energy Savings: Optimized flow design can reduce energy consumption by your pool pump.
  • Convenient Drain & Wash: Features an easy-access 1-1/2" drain for quick and convenient maintenance and winterization.

Key features and operational notes for Pentair Clean & Clear® RP Filters:

  • Radial Pleat Cartridge: The core of the filter, this design provides increased surface consistency to block and trap more dirt and debris effectively.
  • Single Cartridge Simplicity: Maintenance is streamlined by having only one cartridge to remove, clean, and reinstall.
  • Maximized Flow: Typically equipped with 2-inch plumbing connections and an innovative side entry to maximize hydraulic efficiency.
  • Air Relief: Includes a High-Flow™ manual air relief valve and continuous internal air relief to maintain optimal filtration efficiency by venting trapped air.
  • Lock Ring with Safety Latches: Ensures a secure seal and often includes safety latches that click to confirm proper closure.
  • Variety of Sizes: Available in multiple sizes (e.g., 100, 150, 200 sq. ft.) to suit different pool capacities and flow requirements.

⚠️ Safety & Compliance Notes

Filter Operates Under High Pressure:

  • Before servicing: Turn OFF pump and relieve ALL system pressure by opening the manual air relief valve. Pressurized air can cause the filter lid to separate violently, resulting in severe injury, death, or property damage.
  • Never attempt to assemble, disassemble, or adjust the filter clamp or lid while the system is pressurized or the pump is running.
  • Stand clear of the filter during system start-up and shut-down.

Professional Installation & Service Recommended:

  • Installation and service should be performed by a qualified pool professional in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.

Electrical Safety:

  • If your filter system involves electrical components (like the pump), always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before any service work. Ensure the circuit is locked or tagged out.
