Key Features & Benefits

Genuine Sundance® OEM Quality

Manufactured to exact Sundance specifications, this filter ensures precise fitment and uncompromised performance. Designed specifically for Sundance systems, it eliminates compatibility guesswork and maintains factory-level water circulation standards.

Precision Engineered Fit

Engineered for seamless compatibility with original mounting points for secure placement.Exact dimensions, threading, and core construction ensure a secure seal within the filter housing. This prevents bypass and protects internal components by ensuring all water flows through the filtration media.

Superior Filtration Performance

High-efficiency pleated media maximizes surface area to capture fine debris, oils, and contaminants while maintaining strong, consistent water flow. The result is clearer water with reduced strain on your circulation system.

Extends Equipment Life

Clean, properly filtered water protects pumps, heaters, and jets from debris accumulation. Reducing internal buildup helps minimize wear, prevent overheating, and avoid costly long-term repairs.

Durable, Chemical-Resistant Construction

Built to withstand hot water, spa chemicals, and continuous operation, the reinforced filtration media and end caps maintain structural integrity under demanding conditions. Designed for reliable performance over a typical 12–18 month lifespan under normal maintenance.

Quick, Tool-Free Installation

Simple drop-in replacement design makes filter changes quick and straightforward. No tools or complicated steps required — just fast, hassle-free maintenance to keep your spa operating at peak performance.

Product Overview

The Sundance® 680™ Series MicroClean Mini Outer Filter Cartridge (6473-249S) is a genuine OEM replacement engineered for Sundance 680 Series spas manufactured in 2023 and later, including the Ramona, McKinley, Peyton, Edison, Prado, and Alicia models. This pleated cartridge occupies the outer filtration position, capturing debris, oils, and contaminants as small as 10–15 microns before water reaches the inner filter stage.

Built from high-grade pleated polyester media around a rigid internal core, this filter is designed to hold its shape and maintain steady water flow through repeated cleaning cycles. It measures 14.875" x 8.375" x 8.375" and weighs 1.2 lbs, matching the factory specification for a secure fit inside the 680 Series filter housing.

The outer filter works alongside your spa's inner filter (6473-283S) to provide dual-stage filtration, so water stays clearer between chemical treatments. Rinse it every 2–4 weeks and plan to replace it approximately every 12–18 months, depending on bather load and water chemistry, to keep filtration performance and water clarity at their best.

  • Turn off spa power and open the filter compartment.

    Remove the used outer cartridge (6473‑249S).

    Rinse the pleated media thoroughly with clean water and a filter cleaning solution if needed.

    Slide in the new or cleaned outer cartridge, ensuring proper positioning over the inner filter.

    Close and secure the filter compartment, then restore spa power.

    Rinse the outer filter every 2–4 weeks and replace it approximately every 12–18 months depending on usage.

  • Fits Sundance® 680™ Series spas manufactured 2023 and later: Ramona (2023–2025), and McKinley, Peyton, Edison, Prado, and Alicia (2023–2026).

    Compatibility Disclaimer: Always confirm your spa's exact model and build year before ordering.
