American Whirlpool Filters

American Whirlpool hot tubs use one cartridge: the 75 sq ft slip-fit filter (EZ18), 8″ across and 13″ long with a smooth male slip fitting on the bottom instead of a thread. It is the same cartridge Maax and Vita spas use.

✅ Not Sure It Fits? Verify Before Ordering

Hot tub filter fitment varies by spa brand, model, year, filter size, thread style and top/bottom style.

To confirm the correct replacement, send clear photos of:

  • The label or end cap of your current filter
  • Your spa serial number sticker
  • The filter well with the filter removed (so we can see the fitting)

EZ Hot Tub Parts confirms fitment before you order, so you do not pay return freight on a wrong filter.

American Whirlpool filter questions

What filter does an American Whirlpool hot tub use?

The 75 sq ft slip-fit cartridge, our EZ18: 8″ across, 13″ long, with a 2″ male slip fitting on the bottom (Unicel C-8475). It pushes onto the fitting in the well.

Is the American Whirlpool filter the same as the Maax filter?

Yes — American Whirlpool, Maax and Vita share the C-8475 slip-fit cartridge. Any of our EZ18 listings fits.

How often should it be replaced?

About once a year with monthly cleaning; keep a second EZ18 to rotate so one is always dry.
