Pleatco PCC80
The Pleatco PCC80 is a replacement pool filter cartridge for the Pentair Clean & Clear Plus 320 filter system.
PCC80 is Pleatco's number for the CCP320 cartridge. Pleatco cartridges are common in the aftermarket, so many owners find a PCC80 in their filter even when the system is a Pentair. It is the same cartridge as the Unicel C-7470, just labeled by a different maker. The specs and cross-reference below confirm the fit.
Specifications

How to verify this is the right cartridge
Pleatco prints PCC80 on the end cap. If that is what your current cartridge reads, a PCC80 replaces it directly, and so does any of its cross-referenced equivalents.
If you are working from a worn cap or an unlabeled cartridge, measure three things: length end to end, outer diameter across the pleats, and the center opening at each end. The PCC80 runs 20 1/16 inches long and 7 inches wide, with 3 inch openings top and bottom. All three matching means the cartridge fits.
One caution specific to shopping by the Pleatco number: PCC80 and PCC80-PAK4 are the same cartridge. The PAK4 suffix just means a set of four. If you see both, you are not looking at two different parts, only two pack sizes.
How many cartridges does my filter take
The Clean & Clear Plus 320 takes four cartridges. That is why Pleatco sells the PCC80 both singly and as the PCC80-PAK4 four-pack, and why a full replacement means all four at once rather than one.
Mixing a fresh cartridge with three older ones loads the new one unevenly and wears it faster, so replacing the set together is the better practice.
