This replacement cartridge measures approximately 495mm long x 262mm outside diameter, with a 101mm open hole at both ends. Common part number references include FAA495, FC-FAA495, CX100XRE, PA100S / PA100S-EC, C-9440, and CS100E.
These are not cheap low-grade marketplace filters. Our replacement cartridges are made by Darlly / Magnum using quality USA filtration media for reliable flow, strong dirt-holding capacity, and consistent performance.
Many cartridge filters are sold under different brand names, so this filter may also suit other re-branded housings with the same dimensions and end configuration. Please check measurements carefully before ordering.

Quality Matters
A quality cartridge filter helps maintain better water clarity, supports strong water flow, and gives more reliable service life when cleaned and maintained properly. Cheap no-name filters often use lower-grade media and inconsistent construction, which can reduce performance and lifespan.
That is why we focus on cartridges made with better materials from known OEM-style manufacturers, rather than cheap marketplace alternatives.
Important
New replacement filters may vary slightly from original cartridges due to manufacturing tolerances, media thickness, and supplier variation. This does not necessarily mean the filter is incorrect. The important things to match are the length, outside diameter, hole size, and end style.
If you are unsure, send us a photo of your old cartridge along with the full measurements and any part numbers shown on the filter or housing.
Premium Quality. Trusted Brands. No Gimmicks.
Heater & Spa Parts only supplies premium-grade cartridge filters. Unless otherwise stated, our filters are Magnum® or Darlly® branded, made using USA-made Reemay®, Darlly®, Pleatco® filter media or equivalent. These two companies are among the biggest OEM suppliers to major spa and pool manufacturers, including Astralpool and many others.
Because we buy in container-load volumes, we can offer premium filters at sharper pricing and pass that value on to you.
Our filters are trusted across the industry, including by brands such as Astralpool, Balboa, Davey, Emaux, Halo Spas, Hurlcon, Madimack, Oasis Spas, Sapphire Spas, Spa World, Vortex®, SpaNet, Waterco, Zodiac, and more.
FYI, Most major manufacturers do not make cartridge elements themselves. They are supplied by OEM specialists like Magnum and Darlly, using Reemay or Darlly material, which are the same brands we supply.
These are not the cheap, unknown generics commonly sold on eBay, Wish, Temu, Amazon, and others. They are the same type of filters used by top manufacturers.
NSF® certified materials
All our filters are made from NSF® certified materials, meeting international standards for safety, strength, and filtration performance. Brands like Darlly®, Magnum®, Pleatco®, and Reemay® are globally recognised for consistent quality.
Why we mostly use Darlly® and Magnum®
Darlly® and Magnum® filters (with Reemay® or equivalent media) are chosen for real-world reliability:
- Stronger, continuous fibres for minimal shedding
- Greater durability compared to low-grade alternatives
- Longer service life and fewer replacements
- Cleaner, healthier water
Low-quality filters can shed fibres that clog or damage equipment. Ours are engineered to reduce shedding and keep your system running clean and efficient.
Filter cleaning guide
Clean your filter when:
- Spas: water flow or jet pressure drops
- Pools: filter pressure is about 35-45 kPa above normal
How to clean:
- Remove the cartridge as per your manufacturer’s instructions.
- Soak in a proper filter cleaning solution (for example Zodiac Filter Soak or Filter Klenz).
- Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose. A pleat-cleaning nozzle helps.
- Reinstall carefully and check seals are seated correctly.
Maximise filter life:
- Maintain balanced water chemistry.
- Clean regularly based on usage.
- Do not scrub with hard brushes or use high-pressure hoses.
- Avoid flocculants and avoid overusing clarifiers.
- Rotate multiple cartridges where possible to extend lifespan.
When to replace your filter
We recommend replacing cartridge filters every 12 to 24 months, depending on usage and conditions. Keeping a spare on hand allows easy rotation and uninterrupted filtration.
Warranty information
All standard filters are covered by a 12-month replacement warranty (excluding disposable and inflatable-spa types). This covers defects in materials or workmanship, not damage caused by improper use or poor water chemistry. See examples and warranty terms on our warranty page.
Summary: why choose our filters
- NSF® certified materials for proven safety and performance
- Trusted by major brands across the industry
- Mostly Magnum® or Darlly® branded filters, using Reemay® media or equivalent
- No gimmicks, just reliable, proven filtration
- Premium quality at sharp pricing through container-volume purchasing
Your spa or pool deserves more than a “just good enough” filter. Choose proven quality, backed by trusted names and genuine product knowledge.
Measuring a cartridge filter element when you dont have the exact model is the best way to identify it. There are a few important measurements, and they need to be as accurate as possible.
Total Length: Length of the filter, excluding the handle. You can generally also exclude the spigot or thread.
Diameter: This is the width of the filter.
Spigot Diameter: You may have a male threaded, or non-threaded spigot to locate the filter.
Hole Diameter: If you have a hole, rather than a spigot, measure the diameter of the hole.
Thread / Hole Type: Generally these can be a hole, a fine thread, course thread, or camlock style fitting.
