Why This Filter Solves Pool Headaches
What kind of dirt and particles does it remove?
The high-efficiency Trilobal material captures particles down to 50 microns – finer than a human hair – helping to eliminate cloudy water caused by fine debris, leaves, and dust.

How long does it last?
With 2X reinforced internal core strength and ABS plastic end caps that won’t crack, split or warp, this cartridge lasts 3X longer than typical filters, saving you time and money on replacements.

How easy is it to maintain?
Replacement takes less than 60 seconds, and it’s easy to rinse clean. The pleats are built to hold their shape for long-lasting performance.

Is it compatible with my Astral or SMART filter?
Yes – it’s a direct fit for Astral ZX250 and SMART 550 filters. No need for plumbing changes or extra parts.

What kind of warranty does it have?
Unlike most replacement filters, this one comes with a huge 2-Year Replacement Warranty. If anything goes wrong, we’ve got you covered.

High-flow pool filter cartridge / replacement filter element that traps fine debris fast for clearer water and stronger circulation. Trilobal pleats and durable core deliver long life with an easy swap—just match your dimensions (length, diameter, end-cap style) and micron rating. Suitable for salt, mineral, or chlorine pools with quick install and low maintenance.

Disclaimer: All trademarks and product names are used for compatibility reference purposes only and do not indicate affiliation with OEM brands. Water TechniX is a proud, independent, Aussie-owned company. Due to stock and supply, some elements may not have Water TechniX branding but will perform exactly the same. Manufacturing tolerances are +/- 4mm for listed dimensions in length and diameter. Supporting bands are not covered by the 2-year warranty, as these do not impact the performance of the filter if they snap or break during general use and maintenance.

    Cleared up the Water

    Purchased this product as our last filter had a tear. The tear caused such an issue for our pool. This product saved the day and I have never seen the water so clear.
