How to verify this is the right cartridge
Pleatco prints PCC130 on the end cap. If that is what your cartridge reads, a PCC130 replaces it directly, along with any equivalent.
From an unlabeled cartridge, measure: 32 1/16 inches long, 7 inches across, 3 inch openings top and bottom. PCC130 and PCC130-PAK4 are the same cartridge; PAK4 just means a set of four.
Mind the size within the family. All Clean & Clear Plus cartridges are 7 inches across but differ in length. PCC130 is the 520 size and will not fit the 320 or 420. Confirm by housing model or length.
