Hurricane HF7472-01 Pool Filter Cartridge

The Hurricane HF7472-01 is designed as a direct replacement for specific Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 520 systems. You should verify your existing filter model number—specifically looking for compatibility with C-7472, PCC130, FC-1978, or the Clean & Clear Plus 520—to ensure a proper fit.

This cartridge measures 7 inches in diameter and 32 inches in length, with a 3-inch port size. It is critical to measure your current cartridge before purchasing to confirm these dimensions match your housing unit.

No, this specific model is engineered for in-ground pool filtration systems. It is not designed for the smaller housing units typically found on above-ground pool setups.

While the exact lifespan depends on your pool's usage and environmental factors, most cartridges require replacement every 6 to 12 months. You should replace the element if you notice a consistent drop in water pressure or if the pleats become damaged or clogged beyond what a standard cleaning can resolve.

You can extend the life of this cartridge by rinsing the pleats with a garden hose to remove loose debris. However, once the filter material becomes saturated with oils or fine particulates that rinsing cannot remove, it will lose its filtration efficiency and should be replaced.
