Your Pool / Hot Tub Deserves Spa-Daddy™ Brand Filters

A) The Core of the filter is the structure around which the pleated filtration fabric stands.

Before the water passes through the filtration fabric (more on that later), it first must travel through the core, and that is the limiting factor of the filter. If the core is mostly plastic with a few drilled holes, the core inhibits water flow forcing the filtration fabric immediately around those holes to do all the filtration, providing less filtration, less water flow, and significantly shortens the life of the filter.

Our cores are engineered and molded (not drilled PVC) which allows for the even flow of water through the entire cartridge providing these benefits:

• Increased filtration translates to greater efficiency
• Greater media surface inhibits the growth of bacteria mold & algae delivering the best water quality
• Makes it easier for the pump to pull more water through the cartridge, meaning less wear & tear on your pump

B) The Filtration Fabric does the dirty work removing the dirt and oil from your water.

There are two commonly used fabrics for Pool and Hot Tub filters

• Spa-Daddy Trilobal Polyester fabric which is a thick single layer fabric, used in Spa-Daddy Filters.
• Point Bonded fabric which is multiple layers of thin fabric bonded together.

The advantage of the Trilobal Polyester single layer thick fabric is that dirt and oil tends to stay near the outer surface of the filter, making it significantly easier to clean.

The Point Bonded fabric, on the other hand, allows the dirt and oil to permeate the inner layers of fabric where it becomes 'trapped' and nearly impossible to clean, significantly decreasing the useful life of the filter and putting greater pressure on your pump.

Spa-Daddy filters are manufactured using Spa-Daddy Trilobal Fabric because of its superior performance.

C) Spa-Daddy Filters are Covered by a One Year Complete Satifaction Guarantee.

Don't settle for less - if it doesn't say Spa-Daddy then it's not a genuine Spa-Daddy Filter.
In the final analysis, our Premium Spa-Daddy Brand Filter Cartridges with Easy-Flow Cores and Spa-Daddy Trilobal fabric deliver the purest water quality and saves money!

Your water pump works hard - Extend its life with the quality of Spa-Daddy brand filters.

How to Measure A Filter

How to Measure Diameter & Length: Diameter: Length: (Note: Do not include handles, screw in adapters, etc. when measuring length)

Standard (MPT) vs. SAE Threads As you can see in this graphic, when looking at a filter's threads from the side the difference is very obvious. Standard, sometimes called "MPT" or "Male Pipe" threads are smaller and have a higher number of threads than the SAE style. The SAE threads are much larger almost resembling a child's toy.  Filter Tops: Filter Bottoms:

Filter Material: This is the material (spun Spa-Daddy Advanced Polyester) from which the filter media (the pleated 'fabric') is made. This material filter particles from your water that are 30 microns or larger, and as the filters are used they become even more effective, filtering down to 10 microns. Some filters are also manufactured with 'Microban' technology which has antimicrobial properties. This treatment inhibits bacteria growth on the filter. Many of our filters have this option available. Filter Area: This is the square footage of actual filter material in the filter - the more the pleats (or folds) in the filter the more filter material there will be
