Description
The Davey CrystalClear ER DCC270 is a high-capacity cartridge filter for residential swimming pools. Its 270ft² (25.1 m²) of filtration area comes from two reusable pleated polyester cartridges. The large surface area captures fine dirt and debris and gives the filter more room to hold debris between cleans.
The DCC270 requires no backwashing, so you can reduce water use during routine filter maintenance. When cleaning is due, switch off the pump, release the filter pressure as directed in the Davey manual, then remove and rinse the cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size pool is the Davey DCC270 suitable for?
Davey publishes a six-hour turnover figure of 176,000 litres for the DCC270. Actual turnover depends on the flow your pump delivers through the installed pipework. Match the filter to your pool volume, pump and plumbing when sizing your system.
Does the DCC270 require backwashing?
No. The DCC270 uses two removable cartridges that you can rinse and reuse, eliminating the need for a backwash cycle.
How often should I clean the cartridges?
Cleaning frequency depends on pool use and how much debris enters the water. Use the pressure gauge and follow Davey’s cleaning instructions to determine when the cartridges need rinsing.
Which replacement cartridges fit the Davey DCC270?
The DCC270 uses two genuine Davey filter elements. The DCE1038 is the 180ft² element and the DCE1041 is the 90ft² element. Order one of each if you’re replacing both cartridges.
