APC 100 Sq Ft Spa Filter Cartridge (APCC7440)
Drop-in replacement for Coast Spas and Waterway.
The APC APCC7440 is a 100 square foot pleated spa filter cartridge built to drop straight into Coast Spas top-load systems and Waterway Plastics 100 sq ft housings. It cross-references the Unicel C-5396, Pleatco PCST80, Filbur FC-2975, and OEM Waterway 817-0098, so if any of those numbers are on your old element, this one fits. You get 222 pleats of 3 oz Reemay polyester media and open 2-1/8 inch end caps, sized at 5 5/16 inch diameter by 21 5/16 inch tall.

Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the APCC7440 fit my spa?
It fits Coast Spas top-load (in-line) 100 systems and Waterway Plastics 100 sq ft housings. The easiest check is the number printed on your current cartridge. If it reads C-5396, PCST80, FC-2975, or 817-0098, the APCC7440 is a direct replacement.
What are the exact dimensions?
The cartridge is 21 5/16 inch long with a 5 5/16 inch outer diameter. Both the top and bottom end caps are open with a 2-1/8 inch inner diameter, matching the original Coast Spas and Waterway element.
Is this the 100 square foot size?
Yes. The APCC7440 carries a full 100 square feet of pleated media across 222 pleats. That is the high-capacity element for these housings, so you get longer intervals between cleanings.
Can I rinse and reuse it?
Yes. The 3 oz Reemay polyester media is reusable. Rinse it with a hose between the pleats every few weeks, soak it in a cartridge cleaner periodically, and replace it once the pleats no longer come clean or the fabric starts to break down.
How often should I replace it?
With regular rinsing, a spa cartridge like this typically lasts 12 to 24 months depending on bather load and water chemistry. Replace it sooner if you see torn pleats, flattened media, or pressure that stays high right 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.
