Description
Davey CrystalClear ER DCC180 180ft² Premium Cartridge Filter
Keep your pool sparkling clean with the Davey CrystalClear ER DCC180 Premium Cartridge Filter. Designed for outstanding filtration performance with minimal maintenance, the DCC180 features an extra-large 180ft² (16.7m²) reusable polyester cartridge that captures fine debris while extending cleaning intervals.
Unlike traditional sand filters, the CrystalClear ER requires no backwashing, saving thousands of litres of water each year while delivering superior water clarity. Built with a seamless one-piece high-impact polypropylene tank, this premium cartridge filter is corrosion-resistant and designed for years of reliable performance.
Replaces Older Davey CrystalClear Cartridge Filters
The Davey CrystalClear ER DCC180 Premium Cartridge Filter is the latest generation replacement for many older Davey CrystalClear cartridge filters, including the Davey CrystalClear 39150 (150ft²).
While the DCC180 retains the same maximum flow rate of 450 litres per minute, it features a larger 180ft² filtration cartridge, providing increased dirt-holding capacity, longer cleaning intervals and improved water clarity.
The upgraded one-piece polypropylene tank and modern quick-connect unions offer improved durability and easier servicing. Because the DCC180 uses an updated tank and plumbing configuration, minor plumbing modifications may be required during installation. It is not a direct drop-in replacement, but it is the recommended upgrade for older 150ft² CrystalClear filters.
