Rated at 20 square feet of filter area, this cartridge uses an 8-ounce DE filter media to capture fine particulates and deliver clear, clean pool water. It measures 6.25 inches in diameter and 26.75 inches in length, with an open top and bottom end cap, each fitted with a molded gasket and a 3-inch inner diameter. A pleat count of 42 maximizes media surface area within a compact form factor. Pool service professionals and filtration technicians install this cartridge as a direct OEM-specification replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge is intended for use in Quad DE 80 pool filter systems that require 20-square-foot cartridge elements. Note that four of these cartridges are required per complete filter assembly. It is suited for residential and light commercial pool installations where DE-style cartridge filtration is specified. Longer intervals between cleanings compared to standard media reduce maintenance frequency during peak season operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20 square feet of filter area per cartridge using 8-ounce DE filter media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e42-pleat design maximizes media surface area for efficient particulate capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen top and bottom end caps with molded gaskets for a secure, leak-resistant seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch inner diameter on both end caps for proper fitment in Quad DE 80 systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OEM specifications for direct replacement service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended cleaning intervals compared to standard filtration media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplaces Pentair Pool Products part number 178655.

Before replacing cartridges, shut off the pump, release system pressure through the air relief valve, and depressurize the filter tank completely. Inspect the manifold, o-rings, and end cap seals during cartridge replacement and replace any worn components before reassembly. Do not operate the filter without all four cartridges properly seated and the tank fully closed and pressurized to operating specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Area\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 square feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePleat Count\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-ounce DE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop End Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e: Open with molded gasket, 3-inch inner diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom End Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e: Open with molded gasket, 3-inch inner diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNICEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C-6980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UNICEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51983097594162,"sku":"C-6980","price":120.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0113be18c6e60991f56bd00b9755c1f6.jpg?v=1789983624","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/unicel-c-6980-pool-filter-cartridge-20-sq-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
