APC APCC7185M Microban 50 Sq Ft Spa Filter Cartridge
Cleaner water, fewer cleanings.
The APC APCC7185M is a 50 sq ft Microban antimicrobial spa filter cartridge that drops straight into newer-style Marquis and Cal Spas hot tubs. It crosses to Unicel 5CH-502, Pleatco PPM50SC-F2M, and Filbur FC-0195M, so if any of those numbers is on your old element, this is your replacement. The Microban core fights odor and slime between rinses, so your water stays clearer and your cartridge lasts longer.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Microban Antimicrobial
Microban silver protection is built into the media to fight odor-causing bacteria and biofilm right on the cartridge, so your spa water stays fresher between rinses.
50 Sq Ft Surface
A full 50 square feet of densely pleated media traps more dirt per cycle, which means longer runs between cleanings and steadier flow through your spa pump.
Direct Marquis & Cal Fit
Built to the newer-style 5-3/16 in x 12-1/2 in Marquis and Cal Spas pattern with a handle top and 2 in MPT base, no adapters or trimming required.
Crosses 5CH-502 & FC-0195
Replaces Unicel 5CH-502, Pleatco PPM50SC-F2M, Filbur FC-0195M, and Marquis OEM 370-0237, so you do not have to chase down a brand-specific element.
Low Pressure Drop
Sharp, uniform pleats keep water moving with minimal restriction, which protects your pump and helps your heater and jets hold pressure.
Tool-Free Swap
The molded top handle lets you twist the old element out and the new one in by hand in under a minute, so routine filter changes never need the toolbox.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the APCC7185M and a standard cartridge?
The M suffix means this is the Microban antimicrobial version. Microban silver technology is built into the media to suppress odor-causing bacteria and biofilm directly on the cartridge. It is dimensionally identical to the non-Microban 50 sq ft element, so it fits the exact same spas, it just keeps the media cleaner between rinses.
Which spas and cartridges does this replace?
It fits newer-style Marquis Spas and Cal Spas and replaces Unicel 5CH-502, Pleatco PPM50SC-F2M, Filbur FC-0195M, and Marquis OEM part 370-0237. If any of those numbers is printed on your current filter, the APCC7185M is the correct replacement.
What are the exact dimensions?
The cartridge measures 5-3/16 inches in outer diameter by 12-1/2 inches long, with a molded handle on top and a 2 inch MPT (male pipe thread) connection on the bottom. Measure your old element top to bottom before ordering to confirm the match.
How often should I replace it, and can I do it myself?
Yes, this is a tool-free swap. Power the spa down, twist the old cartridge out by its handle, and thread the new one in by hand. Rinse the media every two to four weeks with a garden hose, deep-soak it a few times a year, and replace the cartridge every 12 to 18 months or sooner if flow drops and pressure climbs after cleaning.

Let customers speak for us
Loved how fast it got here. It has small wiring and I was glad it was in a protective envelope and it arrived without breaking.
just as listed. well packeged, fast ahip, works fine. purchased to remedy issue with heater and ozone injectorboth operating together. might have been able to just bend old switch a bit but did not try that.
Great customer service and knowledge of product. Asked of compatibility and they had the answer. My intouch2 was not working so I researched new intouch3 from Spa Dealer and they wanted $75 just to come out, then $125 for up to an hr...just to confirm what I already knew. Contacted PST and they had the product and confirmed compatibility. Saved me some $$.Thanks PST.
