If your filter cartridge is 8” tall with a 4 1/4” outer diameter and a 1 15⁄16” Open on both ends, there’s a good chance this is a match. For fast confirmation, use the compatibility search tool above.

For best performance:

• Rinse: Every 1–2 weeks (or sooner with heavy debris/use)
• Replace: Every 2–4 weeks depending on use – sooner if performance doesn’t recover or pleats are damaged
• Clean sooner if filter pressure rises ~8–10 PSI over clean pressure
• Deep clean (soak): Optional as needed (monthly if you’re trying to stretch life a bit)

Signs it’s time to replace:

• Reduced flow even after deep cleaning
• Rising pressure that doesn’t improve after cleaning
• Frayed, crushed, or flattened pleats
• Cracked/damaged end caps

Antimicrobial protection is built into the filter media to help keep the cartridge fresher between cleanings and reduce buildup over time. It doesn’t replace proper water chemistry or regular cleaning.

Absolutely. The ProGrade™ pleated media is designed for repeated use. Simply rinse the pleats thoroughly with a garden hose, spraying between pleats to remove trapped debris. For deep cleaning, soak the cartridge in a cartridge filter cleaning solution, then rinse completely before reinstalling. Let it dry if your cleaner recommends it.

Yes. The CPF-3710 is certified to NSF/ANSI 50 standards for safety and performance in pool & spa filtration.

It can. By capturing more debris and contaminants before they circulate, this filter helps maintain water balance longer, reducing the need for frequent chemical adjustments. Cleaner water also helps your sanitizer work more efficiently, so you use less overall.

DiamondCore™ Technology improves water flow and resists clogging, reducing strain on your pump and helping it run cooler, quieter, and longer.

It features reinforced ProGrade™ pleated media and a high-strength DiamondCore™ built to withstand pressure, backflow, and heavy-duty use without collapsing or cracking under strain.

Yes, it’s compatible with most Intex Type A, C, and III filter systems as well as Bestway Flowclear models. To confirm your fit, check the model number using the compatibility tool above.

Clarus filters are built for performance, not shortcuts. We use premium ProGrade™ pleated media, a reinforced core built to hold shape under pressure, and antimicrobial-treated filtration media to help keep the cartridge fresher between cleanings. Translation: stronger flow, better debris capture, and durability you can actually feel so you spend less time swapping filters and more time enjoying clear water.

And for extra peace of mind, Clarus filters are NSF/ANSI 50 certified, meaning they meet recognized industry standards for safety and performance in pool and spa filtration, so you can trust the filtration doing its job, day after day.
