Jacuzzi pool filter conversion kit?

[waterbear]

Waterbear, what exactly is the "clean and clear" modification -- I mean, what parts are changed, and what do they do?

Not a modification, I was recommending that the current Jacuzzi filter be replaced with a 150 sq ft. Pentair Clean and Clear since you can buy the entire filter for less than the OP posted for the Jacuzzi mod. This filter should be more than large enough for a 13k pool/spa combo, although moving to one of the 4 cart Clean and Clear plus models is also an option.
The mod for his existing filter consists of taking out the mainifold and the cartridge support cores, dropping in the new manifold and support cores and then installing the round carts over the cores. It's really pretty simple but not necessarily the most cost effective way to go. Much depends on how much replacement carts (and the new manifold and 3 cores) cost.
The System3 mod kit is only for system3 systems to convert to a different type of filter medium such as DE to the carts. (One of the dubious, IMHO, selling points of the System3 filters that they can be converted from one type of filter medium to another by replacing the innards! I would stay very far away from both System3 and System2 cart filters! NOT fun to clean! Carts are very expensive for them also!
