APC APCC7148M Microban 50 Sq Ft Spa Filter Cartridge
Antimicrobial filtration for your hot tub.
The APC APCC7148M is a 50 sq ft pleated spa filter cartridge built with Microban antimicrobial end caps that fight the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew between cleanings. It drops straight into hot tubs that use the Unicel 6CH-47, Pleatco PTL47W-P, and Filbur FC-0315M sizes, with a 6 inch outer diameter, a top carry handle, and a 1-1/2 inch MPT threaded base. If you run an Advanced/LA Spas, Gatsby, or Pacific Spas tub, this is the clean-water cartridge you reorder.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Microban End Caps
The M in APCC7148M is for Microban. Built-in antimicrobial protection disrupts bacteria, mold, and mildew on the end caps so your cartridge stays fresher longer between deep cleans.
Exact 6CH-47 Fit
Matches the Unicel 6CH-47, Pleatco PTL47W-P, and Filbur FC-0315 footprint at 6 in diameter and a 1-1/2 in MPT base. No adapters, no trimming.
Pleated Polyester Media
Point-bonded polyester with even fiber distribution gives you a large 50 sq ft of surface area, trapping fine debris while keeping flow strong through your spa pump.
Reinforced Core
An open, reinforced inner core supports the pleats under suction without collapsing or choking flow, so the cartridge holds its shape wash after wash.
Handle Top, Threaded Base
A molded top handle makes pull-and-rinse maintenance quick, while the 1-1/2 in MPT base threads securely into your spa's filter standpipe.
Cleanable and Reusable
Rinse weekly and deep-soak monthly to extend cartridge life across a full season before replacement, keeping your hot tub water clear and balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the APCC7148M and a standard APCC7148?
The M suffix means this version has Microban antimicrobial end caps. They actively inhibit bacteria, mold, and mildew growth on the cartridge surfaces, so the filter stays cleaner between rinses. The fit, dimensions, and 50 sq ft media are identical to the non-Microban version.
Which spa filters does the APCC7148M replace?
It is a direct replacement for the Unicel 6CH-47, Pleatco PTL47W-P, Filbur FC-0315 and FC-0315M, and OEM part 03FIL1500. It fits Advanced/LA Spas, Gatsby Spas, Pacific Spas, and Aber hot tubs that use the 6 inch by 9 inch handle-top cartridge with a 1-1/2 in MPT base.
How do I know this will fit my hot tub?
Measure your old cartridge. This one is 6 in outer diameter and about 9 in long, with a carry handle on top and a 1-1/2 in male pipe thread on the bottom. If your existing filter matches those dimensions or carries any of the cross-reference numbers above, the APCC7148M fits.
How often should I replace this cartridge?
Rinse it weekly and deep-soak it monthly in a filter cleaner. With normal hot tub use, a pleated cartridge like this typically lasts a season before the pleats wear and flow drops. Replace it sooner if the media is frayed, flattened, or will not come clean.
Can I install this myself?
Yes. Power down the spa, lift out the old cartridge, and thread the new APCC7148M into the standpipe by hand using the base threads, then restart the pump. No tools or professional service required.

Let customers speak for us
Great price and it was the exact fit for my TM26 Filter.
Easy to install it took 20-25 minutes and it was back up and running with no issues!
Work perfect
Same pump and motor I needed for my pool setup and would’ve been great if I didn’t have to tear apart the new one to install old part. Best price I found anywhere too.
Great company to work with!
Came in great condition my kid loves it, fit perfect hes 6 and got a medium.
Order received. Thank you
This is a well built spa light with excellent cables and excellent customer service. Highly recommend
New flow switch worked perfect. Much cheaper than other sites. Arrived on time.
Good price works great!
Extremely fair company. Cares about their customers and are willing to do what it take to make you feel satisfied!
Dog chewed pool robot cord end. Ordered this fix it. Delivery was a little slow and I think some instructions should have been included as should have been a tiny allen wrench needed to tighten the wires into the plug. I got it done but think most homeowners would have a problem doing it. Other than these issues, the plug works fine and was much cheaper than buying a whole new cord.
Had a minor issue with pricing of a separate part in my order, but the sales team was responsive and reasonable, and worked with me to come to a mutually agreeable solution. In a world where character and reason has become the exception rather than the norm, they stand by their word and were committed to finding a fair solution.
I highly recommend them, and will look to them first in the future when searching for pool and spa products. Thanks, Sal and team!
I really like it
The part fit perfectly. Shipping was quick. Would definitely purchas from PST Pool Supplies again in the future.
