APC APCC7103M Microban Spa Filter Cartridge, 32 Sq Ft
7 in x 8 in pleated spa cartridge, handle top, 2 in MPT thread, Microban treated.
The APC APCC7103M is a 32 square foot threaded spa filter cartridge with a built-in handle top and a 2 in male pipe thread (MPT) base. The Microban antimicrobial treatment on the end caps and fabric inhibits odor-causing bacteria growth between cleanings.

What is the difference between APCC7103M and a standard FC-0420?
The APCC7103M is the Microban version. The pleated fabric and end caps are treated to inhibit odor-causing bacteria growth on the cartridge, which cuts down on slime and smell between cleanings. The filtration area, 32 sq ft, and the 7 in x 8 in dimensions are identical to the non-treated FC-0420.
Will this fit my spa?
If your current cartridge is a 7 in diameter by 8 in long unit with a handle on top and a 2 in male pipe thread screw-in base, this is a direct drop-in. It is the listed replacement for Unicel 7CH-322, Pleatco PAS35-F2M, Filbur FC-0420, and Coleman OEM 100520 / 3301-2109. Match your old part number to the cross-reference list above to confirm.
How often should I replace it?
Rinse the cartridge every two to four weeks and deep-clean it with a filter cleaner every few months. Plan on a new cartridge every 12 to 24 months depending on bather load. The Microban treatment slows bacterial buildup but does not make the cartridge permanent.
