Confirm your current filter model, pool size, pump horsepower or flow rate, plumbing size, and available equipment pad clearance. A larger cartridge filter can be beneficial, but it still needs to fit the system and installation space properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes This Filter Need a Multiport Valve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Pentair EC-160301 Clean \u0026amp; Clear Plus 420 is a cartridge filter, so it does not use a multiport valve for normal operation. Multiport valves are typically used with sand and D.E. filters. The CCP420 is cleaned by opening the filter tank, removing the cartridge elements, and rinsing them as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy From Aqua Terra Backyard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003eAqua Terra Backyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, we help pool owners choose replacement pool equipment with practical, accurate product information.
