Why it matters
The Pleatco PWW50P3 SPG Spa Filter Cartridge is a replacement spa and hot tub filter cartridge that its listing says replaces Unicel.
2 other cartridges we cover name at least one of the same part numbers: Cryspool 06008 Spa Filter Cartridge, Beckacher PWW50P3 Spa Filter Cartridge. Compare filter area and pack size before choosing.
Match the part number on your old cartridge or filter housing first; if it has worn off, measure length, outside diameter and both center holes. A cartridge that is close but not exact can let dirty water bypass its seals.
The listing gives dimensions of 10 x 6 x 6 inches and a weight of 1.65 pounds.
