For pool and spa professionals, cartridge quality plays a critical role in overall system efficiency, directly impacting hydraulic performance, equipment lifespan, maintenance frequency, and water quality.

Three complementary technologies to improve filtration and extend maintenance intervals

Standard cartridges often struggle under operating pressure, reducing the effective filtration surface, rising operating pressure, and more frequent cleaning. Pleatco cartridges are engineered with advanced  materials and manufacturing processes to ensure efficient filtration, extended longevity, reliable performance, and reduced maintenance.
Pleatco Ultra stands out with its exclusive Triple-Action Technology, combining three complementary key innovations.

Triple-Action technology: Pleatco Core Circle - Pleatco Point Bonded Circle - Pleatco PurePleat Circle

PurePleat technology maintains rigid, evenly spaced pleats. This keeps the full filtration surface active and captures dirt on the outer edges of the pleats, while also facilitating easier cleaning.

The point-bonded filtration fabric provides a uniform and stable media for consistent dirt capture, while maintaining consistent performance as the cartridge loads.

Finally, the free Flow Core creates maximum internal open space, allowing improved water circulation, lower pressure, and better hydraulic efficiency.

Together, these technologies enable Pleatco Ultra to maintain filtration efficiency over longer operating cycles, slowing pressure rise and extending the time between cleanings compared with standard cartridges.
