* Surface cartridge filters, also called "fabric cartridges," are the most common for use in residential pool and spa installations. Their filter medium is a single layer of synthetic fabric, attached by pleats to a central core, forming a cylindrical shape. Water enters the filter through a baffle system, enabling it to flow evenly over the fabric, which traps small particles. These filters may incorporate a single cartridge, or multiple ones. | * Surface cartridge filters, also called "fabric cartridges," are the most common for use in residential pool and spa installations.
