Guardian Filtration Pool and Spa Filters Perform Better
Made in the USA
This premium cartridge filter is made in the USA at our Greenville, Pennsylvania production facility. We use premium filter material, superior filter cores, and chlorine resistant end caps to ensure a product that filters pool and spa water more efficiently to keep you and your family safe. Our USA made filters last longer compared to competitor cartridge filters.
Premium Pool and Spa Filtration
Our premium filter material and expansive flow core work together to increase the efficiency of your pool or spa's pump. That means more particles, oils and debris are filtered faster and easier by your pump every minute. That means less wear and tear on your pump, which saves energy and maintenance costs, while keeping your water safe and clean at all times.
Expansive Flow Cores
The Guardian Core Advantage ensures maximum water flow. That allows our premium filter material to capture more dirt and debris per gallon of water pumped. Besides cleaner water in your pool or spa, this helps reduce stress on your pump which can save you money on water, maintenance costs and energy costs over the course of your pump's life.
Easy to Clean Cartridges
Remove your Guardian Filtration cartridge and clean it quickly and easily to give the cartridge new life and superior filtration. Because you can easily clean your Guardian filter, each filter lasts longer. This ultimately saves you money on filter costs every season. We recommend having two filters on hand for zero filtration downtime while cleaning and to extend the life of each filter.
Guardian Filtration is Here for You
For Your Pool
Our pool filter cartridges efficiently filter thousands of gallons of indoor and outdoor pool water to keep your pool clean, safe and free of debris and particles. We combine pleated filter material to greatly increase the filtration surface area of each pool filter cartridge.

For Your Hot Tub

I used this filtration system in my 20,000 gallon koi pond. It is supposed to be used in a swimming pool. I use it as a polishing filter after the biological filter. I am impressed how well it works.

We live in the low desert and therefore have to put up with sand, lots of it. We bought these replacements 2 years ago and in the process of replacing them again. They fit perfectly, lasted maybe longer than they should despite the sandy environment. I said maybe because I don’t remember our pool guy telling us he cleaned them. Noting the press was high I decided to clean them myself and they were dirty. Very dirty. So I decided to buy them again except the price went up considerably. I was happy with them but will continue to try other brand that are least expensive,

I just installed them. They fit perfectly. The demon the phone was helpful in ensuring it was the right filter for my pool.For the price it’s ok. I wouldn’t pay more than I what I paid though. Hayward has filters for not that much more.

I got these to replace the original filters that came with my Hayward C3030 filter that I bought 4 years ago. Those filters had started to split at the blue end caps and were allowing dirty water back into the pool, reducing the filtration. These new ones did the same thing, but not because the end caps were split. All 4 had the same issue, where the opening on each end was about 1/32" to 1/16" too big. When I installed them, they sat too easily against the base plate (which has mods to fit into each filter). This caused them to flop around as I installed all 4 and got residue from the O rings onto the top part of the filter material. Likewise, when I put on the top piece, it fit loosely over all 4 filters. This resulted in some dirty water getting back into the pool. I suspect the machining process for the end caps got off slightly and no one in their Quality control group caught it, since all 4 filters had the exact same issue.I requested a return from Amazon and ordered a set of more well known brand filters. These Unicel filters fit like i have always sen in the past. They required a slight push to seat them on the base plate, they sat firm while I installed all 4, and the top piece required a slight push as well to seat on the filters. Totally worth the extra $10 for filters that fit and work better. I am sure the defect in the Guardian Brand impacted a lot of filters sold around that time as all 4 were exactly the same. I am not sure how often Quality Control checks their work but multiple runs of this filter size probably have the same issue.

Filters are identical (same brand, same model) to my original filters, so I anticipate the same performance and ease of installation. I purchased these filters for the convenience of always having filters in place while maintaining my pump cleaning schedule. The price was a bit lower than I would have paid at my usual pool supply store, and having front door delivery saves me from having to add one more errand to my schedule.

I WAS UNABLE PREVIOUSLY TO GIVE A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT HAD NOT YET ARRIVED, THE PRODUCTS HAS ARRIVED AND AS PROMISED I WILL NOW GIVE A FULL REVIEW. I AM COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THIS ITEM, THE QUALITY IS MUCH SUPERIOR TO OTHERS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE, THE PRICE IS VERY GOOD ALSO. THE PREVIOUS PRODUCT WHICH I PURCHASED ELSEWHERE DID NOT TO BE NEARLY AS WELL CONSTRUCTED, THE FILTERS WERE NOT AS STURDY AND THE BANDS WHICH ARE SPACED ABOUT EVERY 10 OR SO INCHES WHICH HOLD THE FILTER IN PLACE WERE NOT ANY COMPARISON TO THE STRENGTH AS THESE APPEAR TO BE. THE BANDS SEEM TO BE WHAT WILL DETERMINE HOW LONG THESE FILTERS WILL LAST OVER TIME. I WILL CERTAINLY RETURN TO THIS PROVIDER FOR MY NEXT REPLACEMENT FILTERS.
