Pentair Clean & Clear 200 Sq Ft Cartridge Element R173217

Pentair Clean & Clear 200 Sq Ft Cartridge Element R173217

Restore clear water and strong flow to your Pentair Clean & Clear 200 or Predator 200 filter with this genuine Pentair R173217 200 sq ft cartridge element. Its deep pleated media traps dirt and debris before it clouds your pool, and when pressure starts to climb you simply hose it clean and drop it back in — no new filter tank, no replumbing, no guesswork about fit.

🚩 PRO TIP: Before ordering, measure your old cartridge end-cap to end-cap and confirm the 6-inch openings top and bottom — the R173217 measures 31-1/8 inches long by 10-1/16 inches in diameter. Keep a second cartridge on hand so one can dry fully while the other filters; dry media cleans up better and lasts longer.
