Bring back genuine crystal-clear water with the Pentair R173214, the authentic OEM 75 square foot replacement cartridge element for the Pentair Clean & Clear 75 (CC75) and Predator 75 cartridge filters. This is the exact factory element your filter shipped with — not an aftermarket lookalike — built from Pentair’s superior reinforced polyester media with antimicrobial end caps, and made in the USA.
There’s a real difference between a genuine Pentair element and the typical aftermarket knockoff. Pentair’s reinforced polyester media is engineered for tighter particle capture and longer filter cycles, which means fewer cleanings, better water polish, and a cartridge that holds its pleats season after season. Pool owners who switch to bargain cartridges often notice fine particles drifting in the pool light at night — particles the genuine R173214 traps. If your water has lost its sparkle, your pressure is climbing fast after cleanings, or your current cartridge is fraying, collapsing, or stained beyond recovery, this is the factory-spec fix.
Key Features of the Pentair R173214 Cartridge Element
- Genuine Pentair OEM Part – Factory replacement element (P/N R173214, UPC 788379017125), individually packaged with the Pentair name. Made in the USA.
- 75 Square Feet of Filtration Area – Maximum media surface traps dirt, debris, pollen, and fine particles for polished, crystal-clear pool and spa water.
- Superior Reinforced Polyester Media – High-quality reinforced pleats deliver a high degree of water clarity and noticeably longer filter cycles between cleanings.
- Antimicrobial End Caps – Resist chlorine degradation and support the filter media for a longer service life.
- Easy Drop-In Replacement – Open both-end design slides over the filter’s center core; no tools, no plumbing, just a quick tank swap.
- Fewer Cleanings, Lower Maintenance – Large dirt-holding capacity extends the time between hose-downs and chemical soaks.
- Reusable & Cleanable – Rinse and reuse through multiple cleaning cycles before replacement is needed (typically every 12–18 months for residential pools, depending on usage and water conditions).
Compatibility & Cross-Reference
The R173214 fits the following Pentair / American Products cartridge filters:
- Pentair Clean & Clear 75 (CC75) cartridge filter — both pre-2009 and 2009-to-present versions
- Pentair Predator 75Â cartridge filter
- Pentair Posi-Clear RP75Â cartridge filter
- American Products Clean & Clear 75 / Predator 75Â filters
Replaces / cross-references these aftermarket cartridge numbers: Unicel C-9407, Pleatco PAP75 / PAP75-4 / PAP75-M4, Filbur FC-0685, Aladdin 17525, and Pentair internal element number 59054100. If your old cartridge is stamped with any of these numbers — or if it measures roughly 10-1/16″ in diameter and 16-1/8″ long with 6″ open ends — the R173214 is your genuine OEM upgrade. Also commonly used on Cal Spas and other spa systems built around the 75 sq. ft. Predator-style element.
