What are Shasta's Expert Comparison & Pro Tips for Hurricane Cartridges?
Replacing a matched inner/outer set prevents uneven loading and premature clogging. Many service calls we see come from mixing new and worn cartridges. This restricts flow and shortens cleaning cycles.
Pro Tip: Rinse cartridges monthly and deep-clean every 4–6 months to maximize lifespan and maintain consistent pressure.

The HF-STR3-450S8 delivers the same System 3 filtration performance without the premium OEM price. Fit, flow, and debris capture closely mirror original Pentair cartridges. Furthermore, it helps extend pump life, improve circulation, and keep water clear longer between cleanings.

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
Is it better to replace just one cartridge or the full inner and outer set?
For System 3–style filters, replacing the full inner and outer set is always recommended. Mixing old and new cartridges can cause uneven filtration, pressure imbalance, and faster wear on the new cartridge.
What are the signs that my pool filter cartridges need to be replaced?
Common signs include rising filter pressure shortly after cleaning, cloudy or dull water, reduced circulation, and cartridges that appear frayed, flattened, or brittle.
How frequently should I clean my filter cartridges?
The cleaning frequency is contingent on your filter's size. As a general guideline, initiate the cleaning process when the filter pressure exceeds the initial pressure by 10 psi. This ensures optimal filtration efficiency.
