About OEM Part Numbers & End Cap Colors: Jacuzzi Brothers originally offered the CFR-150 cartridge in two media weights, identified by end cap color black for the 4 oz. heavy-duty version and slate blue for the 3 oz. standard version. The Unicel C-9478 uses 4 oz. Reemay 2040 media, matching the heavier-duty OEM specification, and is a compatible replacement for both OEM variants. Note: Unicel replacement end cap color will differ from the original OEM color.
Pro Tip: The CFR-150 uses intentionally asymmetrical inner openings the top measures 5 13/16″ and the bottom measures 6 1/16″. If you’re verifying fit before ordering, measure both ends of your existing cartridge. A mismatch on either end is the most common cause of a perceived wrong-part situation on this model. The C-9478’s 9 15/16″ outer diameter also gives you a quick outer-dimension confirmation without removing the cartridge from housing.
