What unique features do Filbur filters have?

Filbur filters have high-quality features that set us apart from the competition. Our unique cores are designed for strength and maximum water flow. The media has the best possible filtration rate, and our end caps provide structural strength. You’ll notice the difference!

What is the difference between pleated and non-pleated filters?

Like most filters in the pool and spa industry, Filbur uses pleated media to allow for more surface cleaning area. Non-pleated filters are not often used for pools or spas. If you have questions about your specific filter needs, we recommend reaching out to your local pool and spa dealer or pool care professional.

Why does PVC matter in a pool filter?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a strong and versatile material that is ideal for pool and spa filters. It provides structural integrity, is fully waterproof, and is durable enough to be used with the chlorine and other chemicals required for pool and spa care.

Where do I find the part number on my filter?

Each Filbur filter has an embossed end cap with the filter part number. Please check both filter caps to view that information. You can then use that part number with our Filter Finder tool to find more information on the original manufacturer, dimensions, and more.

Why does my filter have bands around the outside?

Filbur filters have bands to ensure the filter media pleats hold their shape. This ensures there is maximum surface area exposed to the water for the best possible filtration.

Are all filters interchangeable or is the brand important?

Filbur manufactures filters that work with a wide variety of OEMs. If you would like to find a filter for your pool or spa, we encourage you to try our Filter Finder and search by part number, diameter, or other measurements.

Do I have to purchase filters from my pool or spa’s original manufacturer?

Filbur filters are compatible with multiple manufacturers. Try our Filter Finder tool to search for the right option for your pool or spa’s needs.

How do I know when to change my pool or spa filter?

There’s no “one size fits all” timeframe for replacing your filter. Location, weather, and seasonality all play a role. If you’re tried to clean your filter and it still isn’t working properly, that usually means it is time for a new one. We recommend asking your local pool or spa professional for more information based on their experience.

What kind of DE filter grids does Filbur manufacture?

Filbur makes a variety of DE (diatomaceous earth) grids for a variety of applications. Each is designed to ensure your pool or spa is clean, clear, and ready for fun!

What purpose does the DE filter grid serve?

DE (diatomaceous earth) in your pool or spa’s water can create a cloudy appearance. Filbur’s DE grids are designed to remove this fine powder from the water by capturing it in the media on a polyester frame. The grids make your pool water clean and clear, and also work in tandem with your filter.

What makes Filbur DE filter grids different from other models?

Each Filbur DE Filter Grid features reinforced connections for extra strength. Designed with a custom polypropylene cloth for precise filtration and heavy-duty stitching for longevity, our products ensure superior dirt-holding capacity and a lower pressure drop. It’s the perfect combination of quality and performance.

Where can I purchase your CVPC valves and unions?
