Please Note: Filter Cartridge Measurements may vary.
Always allow a variance of: (± 1/16 inches or ± 1.6 mm)

  • Measure the length of the cartridge. (B)
  • Measure the outside diameter of the cartridge. (A)
  • Do not include any handles, strings, threads etc.
  • A more accurate measurement is made by measuring through the center of the cartridge when possible.
  • If the top and/or bottom is open, measure the inside diameter of the opening. (C)
  • Match the cartridge end cap configuration to a corresponding one in the filter search.
  • Make note of the manufacturer (OEM) and model number of the filter the replacement cartridge will be installed in.
  • Take note whether or not there is a centre core in centre.
  • You may also count the number of pleats (± 2) to work out sq. ft. which is explained below.

How to calculate square footage

  • Count the number of pleats and measure the pleat depth in inches.
  • Measure the length of the cartridge in inches excluding the end caps.

Calculation:

Pleat Counts X 2 X Pleat Depth X Pleat Length ÷ 144 = square footage
