How do I choose the
right cartridge?
|
We have put together several different pages of
reference data to allow you to locate the proper filter cartridge.
Once you have found the right filter cartridge, it's
very important to check the dimensions and design specifications of the cartridge carefully to
make sure you have the right one. If you have a question, please feel free to email us. We

| METHOD 2:
Locate by FILTER
CARTRIDGE DIMENSIONS AND DESIGN |
|
If
you do not know the model number of your filter, or cannot find the name in the lists
above, then measure the old cartridge and search
by dimensions. 
STEP
ONE: Measure
the outside diameter of the cartridge (in inches, +/- 1/32").
STEP
TWO: Measure
the cartridge length (in inches, +/- 1/16) including end caps but excluding
any handles or other extensions. Unicel recommends measuring through the center (if
possible) rather than along the outside edge.
STEP
THREE:
Identify
the cartridge outside edge end cap configuration using the photograph chart below. If
the top and/or bottom is "open," measure the inside diameter (in inches, +/-
1/32) of the top and/or bottom. Click
here to view photos of the end cap designs
STEP FOUR Count the number of pleats (+/- 2),
and note whether there is a center core or not.
The information gathered in steps 1-4 above can then be used
to identify a proper replacement.
Unicel cartridges are grouped into series based on the
approximate outside diameter (O.D.) of the cartridge. For example, the 2000 Series is
comprised of cartridges between 2 and 2.99 inches in outer diameter; the 9000 Series
is comprised of cartridges with an outer diameter of 9 inches or greater.
Note that if the cartridge length is either 4-15/16 or
6-15/16 it may be necessary to check the next larger series, the 5000 Series and 7000
Series, respectively. Within each series, cartridges are listed sequentially by O.D.
and cartridge length and identified according to end cap I.D. (inside diameter) and
configuration, pleat count, media, and respective OEM.
