The filter core broke near the bottom of the core in the filter tank. How do I replace the filter core? The picture you have of the core shows a round piece near the bottom of the core. My core broke above the round piece. Does the round piece come out of the tank? If so, how do I get it out? My filter system is a Predator 150 sf. It was installed in 1997 and the core was replaced under warranty in 2000. Can you tell me the part # I need to order the core? Thank you!!

Hi, According to the Pentair Clean and Clear Owners Manual the core by placing hands in lifting handles of the core and pull straight up. The Center Core, 150, 200 (59053800) will be the correct replacement for your unit.

Hi Tom, The Core is the support system of the filter, it is also what the water flow through. The filter will not work as it should without it.

I have ordered a predator/ c.c. 150 cartridge with a 6 inch center. Is this core compatable. Will a cartridge with a 6 in. openning fit over it.

Hi Danny, yes this is the correct center core for your predator / clean and clear 150 cartridge filter.

Hi John, You may have to wiggle the center core free from the tank body. The lower part of the can be kept in place but replace the middle and upper portion of the core.

How do I remove the existing core to replace it? If the existing one does not fit together properly because the connector is broken, does it need replacing?

Good afternoon Lorna, It is as simple as twisting and pulling. You would just turn to the left and pull up.

Bottom portion of center core is stuck in the filter housing. What is the easiest method to remove so the core can be replaced

Hi, Walter. The center core simply slides out of the filter base. The base has grooves that the center core slides into, you may have to wiggle it a little to free the core.

I am looking for my model number to replace the center core. The barcode sticker on the top of the unit has disintegrated. I see that there are two core sizes, is there any other place that would designate the model number ?

Hi, Jane. You can use the actual cartridge size or p/n to locate the replacement center core.

I assume when putting filter on center core you just pull up slide it off then slide new filter back down on the center core?

I think I have been removing my cartridge filter incorrectly for almost 12 years?!? I just read the little pdf from Pentair and I think it says you remove the center core each time to remove the filter for cleaning... Is that right?

Hello, yes in order to do a more thorough filter cartridge element cleaning you will want to remove it from the center core. This will also allow you to clean the cartridge from the inside outward.

Hello. The Pentair Clean & Clear 150 sq ft and 200 sq ft Filter Cartridges have the exact same dimensions. Length: 31 1/8" OD: 10 1/6" ID: 6". The difference is the pleat density, 150 sq ft versus 200 sq ft. They are interchangeable within the Clean & Clear 150 and 200 models.

How do I know which center cord to use for my system 100 square-foot or the one that goes with the 150 to 200 ft.²? What does that mean?
Reply
Hi Lori, the center core is a different length for the different filter cartridges and depends upon the square feet of surface area on the cartridge (the 150 square foot and 200 square foot cartridge are the same length so they use the same core). Your 100-square-foot American Products Predator Filter would use the 59053700 Center Core Replacement. Send images of the filter and any labels on it to us at upload@inyopools.com if you are unsure of the exact filter model and we would be happy to help.
