I'm sure there's an easy answer for this, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to Google. The original replacement filter for my pump is found here, but it's on backorder, and I just realized I need to replace it fairly quickly. Where can I find a "third party" filter that has the same specs as the original? Or can someone tell me what to search for? Thank you!!
 
Smaller is 90sqft, 8.25" H, 10.125" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter.
Larger is 180sqft, 17" H, 10.125" outer diameter, 3" inner diameter.

I cannot find a suitable aftermarket filter set.
 
Sometimes a bit of research before buying a filter may yield verification of alternatives.

As an example, the Hayward Star Clear Plus C900/C9002, can use Hayward CX900RE, Pleatco PA90/PA90-4, Filbur FC-1292, Unicel C-8409 and others.

I'm not looking down on you, just helping with future purchases.

I'd call circupool and ask when they might be available...
 
No worries. I honestly didn't think to check that before buying the filter. Question, though - and it's probably a dumb one - but until I figure this out, I'm wondering what I can do to keep my VSP from running so hard. I mean, the reason I'm assuming it's the filter is because the flow seems to be pretty weak compared to what it usually is, and the psi is higher than normal. Also, we had a new deck put in right beside it, so I'm assuming all that dust "gunked up" my filter pretty good. I've used a hose to try and clean the filter recently, so I think I'll do it again today. Also, I'm going to assume removing the filter and running it without is an idotic thing to do in order to save the wear and tear on my pump? I just need to keep circulation going somehow. Or maybe there's a better method to clean a cartridge filter? Like muriatic acid?

Don't replace a filter that isn't damaged; just likely needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Remove from filter assembly and rinse until all visible debris and dirt is removed. TSP can be used to clean a filter, but that would be more typical for a filter with heavy oils contamination.

You can remove it completely and run the pump; no issues there.
