Replacement pleated short SAE threaded filter designed for pre-2020 Arctic Spas that use the PRT-900010 rescue bag. This compact pleated filter with an integrated handle provides a quick, tool-free swap for daily or short-term microfiber filtration. ✅ Compatibility: Intended for use with pre-2020 Arctic Spas which accept the PRT-900010 rescue bag style microfiber filter system. ✅ Construction: Pleated media for improved debris capture in a short-profile design; threaded SAE connection and molded handle for easy removal and installation. ✅ Use Cycle: Designed for short-term use (1–2 day) applications when using the rescue bag. Installation & Use 🔧 Turn off spa circulation before servicing. Reach into the rescue bag cavity, grasp the handle, and unscrew or unseat the existing filter element. Install the replacement by aligning the SAE-threaded end, hand-tighten until seated, and ensure the handle is accessible for future removal. Restart circulation and confirm proper fit and seal. Care & Maintenance 🧼 Rinse gently with fresh water between uses to remove loose debris. Do not use high-pressure washers or harsh chemicals that may damage the pleated media. Replace when visibly soiled, damaged, or when flow is reduced—dispose and replace with a new pleated element as needed. Why this filter? ✨ Short-profile pleated filters with a handle simplify frequent changes and help maintain clear spa water when used as part of the PRT-900010 rescue bag system. Ideal for owners who run short-term microfiber filtration cycles to clear up cloudy spas. Always follow the spa manufacturer’s maintenance instructions and the rescue bag/filter system guidance for best results.
