APC APCC7645M 35 Sq Ft Microban Spa Filter Cartridge
Screw-in 35 sq ft media with built-in Microban.
The APC APCC7645M (MPN APCC7645M, SKU PST-APCC7645M) is a 35 square foot screw-in spa filter cartridge with Microban antimicrobial media that drops straight into Waterway Teleweir-style front-access skimmers and dozens of bottom-load spa housings. It crosses to Unicel 4CH-935, Pleatco PWW35L-M, and Filbur FC-0170M, so if your old element carries any of those numbers, this one fits. The blue Microban fabric fights the odor-causing bacteria that build up on a cartridge between cleanings, which means fewer rinses and cleaner water in your tub.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Built-In Microban
The blue media is treated with Microban antimicrobial protection that inhibits smelly bacteria growth on the filter fabric, so your tub stays fresher between cleanings.
Direct Cross-Reference Fit
Replaces Unicel 4CH-935 / 4CH-935RA, Pleatco PWW35L-M, Filbur FC-0170M, Waterway 817-4035, and Darlly 40355. Match the number on your old cartridge and you are done.
Screw-In Bottom
The 2" female SAE threaded base twists securely into Waterway front-access skim filters and other bottom-load housings for a leak-free seal, no clamps or O-rings to chase.
35 Sq Ft Of Surface
219 pleats of 3 oz Reemay polyester media trap debris down to roughly 20 microns, giving you more dirt-holding capacity and longer runs between cleanings.
Fits Popular Spa Brands
Used in Waterway Teleweir 35, Master Spas Twilight and Therapool, Nordic Hot Tubs, Four Winds, Clarity, and Rising Dragon tubs that take a handle-top 35 sq ft element.
Tool-Free Swap
Unthread the old cartridge, rinse the housing, and thread this one in. The v-groove handle top gives you a solid grip for removal even when the media is wet.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the M in APCC7645M mean?
The M denotes the Microban antimicrobial version. The media is treated with Microban protection (the fabric is blue) to inhibit odor-causing bacteria on the cartridge. The non-Microban equivalent is the standard 4CH-935 / FC-0170 element; this one adds the antimicrobial treatment.
Will this fit my spa?
If your current cartridge measures about 4-15/16" wide by 9-1/4" long with a handle on top and a screw-in threaded bottom, this is a direct fit. It crosses to Unicel 4CH-935, Pleatco PWW35L, and Filbur FC-0170, and is used in Waterway Teleweir 35, Master Spas, Nordic, Four Winds, Clarity, and Rising Dragon tubs. Match the old number or the dimensions to confirm.
How is this different from the APCC7645 without Microban?
Same dimensions, same 35 sq ft, same screw-in fit. The APCC7645M uses Microban-treated blue media that resists bacterial buildup on the fabric, while the standard version uses untreated white media. Both filter to the same micron range, so choose Microban if you want extra odor and biofilm resistance between cleanings.
How often should I replace it?
Plan on a new cartridge every 12 to 24 months depending on use, and rinse it every few weeks. Replace sooner if you see torn or matted pleats, a collapsed center core, low flow, or a high pressure reading that a cleaning will not fix. Microban slows odor buildup but does not extend the mechanical life of the media.
Can I install this myself?
Yes. Turn off the spa, unthread the old cartridge from the housing, rinse out the canister, and screw this one in hand-tight using the handle for grip. No tools, no plumbing, and no clamps. Spin the pump back on and check for a clean seal at the threaded base.
