Waterway – 50 sq ft Top Load Cartridge Filter with Bypass

• 50 sq ft (≈ 4.65 m²) filtration area: Efficient and durable filtration
• "Top Load" access: Top opening for easy maintenance without disassembly
• Integrated bypass: Protects the cartridge during high flow rates or high pressure
• Compact body: Ideal for recessed installation in confined spaces
• Robust construction: Compatible with salt, chlorine, or bromine treatments

The Waterway 50 sq ft Top Load cartridge filter (ref. 502-5010) is designed primarily for residential spas or small pools requiring reliable filtration in a confined space. Thanks to its generous filtration area, it offers a good compromise between compactness and efficiency.

The "Top Load" access greatly simplifies maintenance: simply remove the cover to access the cartridge without disassembling the tank or fittings. The integrated bypass system prevents overpressure and protects the cartridge when the pump is operating at high speed—a significant advantage for spas or variable flow systems.

The filter is manufactured by Waterway Plastics, known for the quality of its spa/pool equipment, using materials resistant to water treatment chemicals (chlorine, salt, bromine) and usage conditions.
