Bullfrog® Filter Core Cage & Cap Assembly (2013+) 10-00417

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should I replace my Bullfrog filter core cage and cap assembly?
  The core cage and cap assembly typically lasts 3-5 years with proper maintenance. Replace it when you notice cracks, warping, or if your filter cartridge no longer fits securely. Regular inspection during filter cleaning helps identify wear before it affects performance.
• Is this compatible with my Bullfrog spa model?
  This assembly (part #10-00417) fits all Bullfrog Spa models manufactured from 2013 to present that use coreless filter cartridges. If you're unsure about compatibility, check your spa's serial number or contact our team with your model information.
• What's the difference between this and a standard filter core?
  Bullfrog's coreless filter system eliminates the traditional rigid center core, allowing for greater filtration surface area. This cage and cap assembly provides structural support while maintaining the benefits of the coreless design—better water flow and more efficient filtration.
• How do I clean or maintain this assembly?
  Rinse the cage and cap with clean water during regular filter cleaning. Use a mild spa filter cleaner to remove any calcium buildup or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing that could damage the plastic. Inspect for cracks or damage every 3-6 months.
• Can I use this with non-Bullfrog filter cartridges?
  This assembly is designed specifically for genuine Bullfrog coreless filter cartridges. Using non-OEM filters may result in poor fit, reduced filtration efficiency, or damage to your spa's circulation system. We recommend pairing this assembly with authentic Bullfrog replacement filters.
• Do I need any special tools to install this?
  No special tools are required. Simply remove your old filter cartridge, replace the worn cage and cap assembly, and reinstall your filter. The process takes just minutes and requires no plumbing modifications.
