Pentair Clean and Clear... new filter?

[akenis]

Have Clean and Clear cartridge filter, CCRP100 P/N 160354. It calls for Pentair filter # R173215. Need a new cartridge.

1. When I look of the filter via P/N, it looks like they made some changes. My filter has a lid that goes on top. The new version has a much deeper lid. When did it change and what did they change?

2. Any reason to stick with expensive Pentair brand cartridge? Gonna scan knock-offs on Amazon.

You need a new filter housing or just the cartridges? Which filter housing do you have?

I have CCRP100 model. Was just wondering why newer version looks different. I just need a new cartridge.
