PWW50P3 Filter by Ketofa Cartridge – 100% Polyester, 1½” Coarse Thread

Description

Product Overview

The Ketofa PWW50P3 filter is engineered to provide reliable, high‑performance filtration for a wide range of hot tubs and spas. Crafted from 100% premium polyester, the cartridge offers a dense fiber matrix that captures microscopic debris while allowing water to flow freely, reducing pressure drop and extending service intervals. Its 1½” coarse thread design ensures a secure, leak‑free connection to standard spa filter housings, making installation straightforward for both DIY enthusiasts and professional service technicians.

Measuring 250mm x 150mm with a 45 square foot surface area, the filter provides ample media to handle the demands of high‑use environments. The triple‑laminated poly‑constructed inner scrim adds structural integrity, preventing pleat deformation under continuous water pressure. A weather‑resistant top coating protects the fibers from UV degradation, ensuring consistent performance even in outdoor installations. The cartridge weighs approximately one pound, offering a balance between durability and ease of handling during replacement cycles.

Compatibility is a key strength of this product. It is fully interchangeable with Pleatco PWW50P3, Unicel 6CH‑940, Filbur FC‑0359, Waterways 817‑0050, and other equivalent models such as 03FIL1400, 25252, and 378902. This broad compatibility reduces the need for multiple inventory SKUs, simplifying maintenance for pool and spa owners alike. The filter’s robust construction and precise engineering have earned it a strong reputation among users, reflected in a 4.4‑star rating from over 690 verified reviews.

Usage

Designed for both residential and commercial hot tub applications, the Ketofa PWW50P3 filter excels in a variety of usage scenarios. Whether you operate a private backyard spa, a community wellness center, or a hotel poolside lounge, this cartridge delivers consistent water clarity, helping to maintain a pleasant and hygienic environment for users. Its high filtration efficiency captures hair, skin cells, cosmetics, and other contaminants, reducing the likelihood of cloudy water and unpleasant odors.

Installation is simple: remove the existing cartridge, align the 1½” coarse thread with the filter housing, and secure it by hand. The heavy‑duty polyester material tolerates frequent cleaning cycles, allowing you to backwash or rinse the filter without compromising its structural integrity. For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the cartridge every 6‑12 months, depending on usage intensity and water chemistry. Regular monitoring of water clarity and pressure gauge readings will help you determine the ideal replacement schedule.

In addition to standard spa environments, the filter performs well in therapeutic settings where water temperature may fluctuate between 80°F and 104°F. Its temperature‑resistant fibers maintain filtration efficiency across this range, ensuring that therapeutic jets deliver clean, soothing water to users. The cartridge’s durability also makes it suitable for outdoor installations where exposure to sunlight and varying weather conditions is common.
