tr4driver Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Greetings. I have a Fort Wayne Pools spa that was manufactured in 1995. I don't have an original filter and I'm trying to track down a filter that works. I have a filter that has a 2 1/8" hole, is 4 15/16" in diameter and about 10" long. It fits, but sits loosely over the intake. I suspect the inside hole needs to be 2" diameter for a snug fit. I'm also confused regarding the open top end versus closed top end configuration. Wouldn't an open end allow water to bypass the filter? I contacted Fort Wayne Pools, but they were no help. I have the owners manual, but it does not give any information about the filter. It just says to contact the manufacturer. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGiroso Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have an older hot tub too. I'm sharing this because it us how I found the correct filters for mine. Just Google "replacement filters for" and enter the make and model of your hot tub. It worked for me when I didn't have a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spa_Guru Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 An open ended filter is usually used in an application where either the filter lid or leaf trap closes the upper hole, you may have a missing component to the skimmer. The above link or a Unicel 4328 would likely do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
