Jacuzzi pool filter conversion kit?

[waterbear]

Did a bit more checking. It seems that the original tri-clops elements were oval shaped and Jacuzzi Brothers changed over to round cartridges with more filtering area and that required a replacement of the manifold and the 3 standpipes that support the carts. This was an OEM change and and not aftermarket when Jacuzzi changed cart shapes. Not that familiar with Jacuzzi Brothers but usually replacing the manifold and standpipe in a cart filter is fairly trivial. Usually you lift the old one out and drop the new one in. Pay attention to any alingment or water flow arrows.

Also, I found a few online sources that still list the old, oval filters as available but the price was very high compared to the newer style carts.

This filter can also be converted to a DE filter by replacing the internals (removing the cartridge mainfold and standpipes and replacing with the DE mainfold and grid assembly).
