Cryspool 100 Sq. Ft Pool Filter Cartridge 23-5/8 in - Reliable

Our review of the Cryspool 100 Sq. Ft Pool Filter Cartridge finds it is a practical replacement cartridge for owners of Clean & Clear and similar systems who want a durable, easy-to-clean filter at a modest price. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of the improved trilobal fabric and robust construction, which makes cleaning simple and restores filtration performance quickly after rinsing. This cartridge is most useful for routine maintenance rather than high-performance upgrades, and it offers clear value when matched to the compatible models listed by the manufacturer.

Key Features

• Exact dimensions: Length 23-5/8 in with a 10-1/16 in outer diameter and 6 in top/bottom openings to match housings that accept these sizes.
• Large filtration area: The 100 sq.ft. media delivers more surface area for strain and debris capture compared with smaller cartridges, reducing pump strain between cleanings.
• Trilobal fiber media: The advanced trilobal fibers increase dirt-holding capacity and help the cartridge trap finer particles than basic point-bond fabric.
• Improved cleanability: The filter structure allows deep penetration of impurities into pleats and releases them when rinsed, making the cartridge behave almost like new after a thorough wash.
• Wide compatibility: Designed to fit models such as Clean and Clear 100, CCRP100, C-9410, R173215, Predator-100 and others, simplifying replacements for common systems.

Who It's For

This cartridge is aimed at pool owners who need a cost-effective, direct replacement for systems that accept a 23-5/8 in by 10-1/16 in cartridge with 6 in openings. It suits regular maintainers who prefer a washable cartridge they can clean and reuse rather than frequently buying disposables.

It is less appropriate for owners seeking an upgrade to very fine micron-rated or specialty media; also homeowners with systems that require a different size or non-cartridge media should look elsewhere. Those who want professional-grade, extended-longevity specialty cartridges may prefer other premium options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cartridge fit my Clean and Clear 100 filter?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with Clean and Clear 100 and several equivalent models that accept a 23-5/8 in by 10-1/16 in cartridge with 6 in openings.

How often should I clean the cartridge?
Clean the cartridge when the system pressure gauge reaches the recommended level for your filter or at the first sign of reduced flow; regular rinsing will extend service life.

Can I expect OEM-level performance?
The trilobal fiber media provides strong filtration and good dirt-holding capacity, but final water clarity depends on pool chemistry and maintenance routines.
