The Unicel C-5300 delivers 50 square feet of filtration across 224 pleats of Reemay® 2033 polyester media. Built to meet or exceed OEM specifications, it’s the replacement cartridge for Jacuzzi® Whirlpool Bath front-load skim filters, taking the place of part 6199000.
Filtration is the quiet backbone of clean spa water. Every soak leaves behind body oils, lotions, hair, and fine debris, and the cartridge is what removes all of it before it clouds the water, feeds bacteria, or coats your plumbing. When a filter is worn or clogged, the effects spread everywhere: dull water, higher chemical use, softer jets, and a pump and heater straining against restricted flow.
What separates a Unicel from a bargain cartridge is the media itself. Reemay uses a trilobal fiber — three-lobed in cross-section rather than round — which delivers roughly 45% more surface area than standard rounded filter fibers. More surface means more places to capture dirt and oils, higher dirt-holding capacity, and more time between cleanings. With 224 pleats and a closed top designed for front-load skim filter housings, plus chemical-resistant end caps and a solid core, it’s built to perform through cleaning after cleaning. Made in the USA.
Pro Tip: This cartridge is an upgrade if your bath came with the 25 sq ft filter. Many Jacuzzi front-load whirlpool baths originally shipped with the smaller C-5601 (25 sq ft) cartridge — and the C-5300 fits the same housing while providing double the filtration area. More media means finer filtration, more dirt-holding capacity, and longer stretches between cleanings, all without changing a thing about your spa. If your current filter is the 25 sq ft version, this is a genuine step up.
