Description

The Unicel C-7335 delivers 35 square feet of filtration built on Reemay® polyester media. Built to meet or exceed OEM specifications, it's the replacement cartridge for the Dimension One Spas SpaBerry®, taking the place of OEM part 1561-01.

Filtration is the quiet backbone of clean spa water. Every soak leaves behind body oils, lotions, hair, and fine debris, and the cartridge is what removes all of it before it clouds the water, feeds bacteria, or coats your plumbing. When a filter is worn or clogged, the effects spread everywhere: dull water, higher chemical use, softer jets, and a pump and heater straining against restricted flow.

This is a distinctive cartridge, and its shape is the giveaway: at 7-1/8 inches across but only 5-7/8 inches tall, it's wider than it is tall — a squat, compact design built for the SpaBerry's filter housing. Its closed top and 2-inch twist-lock bottom secure it with a quarter-turn rather than a thread or a friction fit. The media is Reemay, whose trilobal fibers deliver roughly 45% more surface area than standard rounded filter fibers, so it captures more and releases dirt readily when rinsed. Made in the USA.

Pro Tip: The twist-lock bottom is what identifies this cartridge — look for it before ordering. Most spa filters seat with a threaded fitting or simply drop into a well, but the C-7335 uses a 2-inch twist-lock connection that engages with a turn and clicks into place. If your current filter threads in or lifts straight out, it's a different part. Combined with the unmistakable squat shape — wider than it is tall — those two details confirm the fit in seconds.

Key Features
  • 35 sq ft of filtration — full OEM-spec filtration area
  • 45% more surface area — Reemay trilobal fibers outperform standard rounded fibers
  • 2 in twist-lock bottom — secures with a turn for a positive, leak-free seat
  • Compact design — 7-1/8 in diameter by 5-7/8 in tall, built for the SpaBerry housing
  • Chemical-resistant end caps — durable plastic with an exact OEM fit
  • Made in the USA — built to meet or exceed OEM standards
How It Works

Water is drawn through the cartridge's pleated media as your spa circulates. Pleating creates the capacity: folding the fabric back and forth packs 35 square feet of filtering surface into a body barely six inches tall. The wide-and-short proportions are the reason it works — the large 7-1/8 inch diameter provides enough circumference for a substantial amount of media without needing height, which is what lets a compact spa housing carry a full-size filtration area.

The media does the rest. Reemay fibers are trilobal — three-lobed in cross-section rather than round — which delivers roughly 45% more surface area than standard rounded filter fibers, giving more places for dirt to be trapped and a smooth surface that releases it readily when rinsed. The twist-lock fitting then does something a friction fit can't: it holds the cartridge positively in position, so water is forced through the media rather than slipping around a loose seat.

Pro Tip: A clean filter protects your equipment, not just your water. As the pleats load up with body oils, your pump has to work harder against the restriction, and reduced flow across the heater can trigger flow-related errors. Regular rinsing and periodic deep cleaning is the cheapest protection there is for the expensive parts of your spa.

Directions for Use

Installation

  1. Turn off power to the spa at the breaker before servicing the filter compartment.
  2. Open the filter lid and clear any debris from the compartment.
  3. Remove the old cartridge by turning it to release the twist-lock, then lifting it out.
  4. Seat the new cartridge with the twist-lock fitting down, then turn it until it engages and locks positively in place.
  5. Confirm it's locked before closing up — a cartridge that isn't fully engaged can let water bypass the media.
  6. Close the lid, restore power, and run the circulation to confirm normal flow.

Routine Cleaning

  1. Every two to four weeks: remove the cartridge and rinse gently with a garden hose, working between the pleats from top to bottom. A soft brush cleaning tool helps.
  2. Periodically: soak or treat the cartridge with a dedicated filter cleaner to dissolve the body oils and buildup a rinse can't remove, then rinse it off.
  3. Let it dry fully before returning it to service whenever possible.

When to Replace

  • The cycle between cleanings gets noticeably shorter
  • Low water flow or high differential pressure
  • The media has a tear
  • The center core collapses

Cartridge life depends on routine maintenance and your spa's water chemistry.

Pro Tip: Check the twist-lock tabs whenever you clean the filter. That fitting is doing mechanical work every time you remove and reseat the cartridge, and a worn, chipped, or deformed locking tab means the filter may no longer seat positively — letting unfiltered water slip past even when the pleats look perfect. It takes two seconds to inspect while the cartridge is out, and it explains cloudy water that no amount of chemistry seems to fix.

Compatibility

The C-7335 is built for the Dimension One Spas SpaBerry®. It serves as a direct replacement for:

  • Dimension One Spas: 1561-01

It's also cross-referenced as Filbur FC-3058.

Because this cartridge has a fitment unlike most spa filters, verifying is straightforward — check for the closed top, the 2-inch twist-lock bottom, and the distinctive 7-1/8 inch diameter by 5-7/8 inch length. If any of those don't match, it's a different part. The surest method is to pull your current cartridge and read the part number printed on it. For upkeep, pair it with a dedicated filter cleaner for periodic deep cleaning.

UNICEL® Brand FAQs

Who makes Unicel filters?

Unicel filters are made byMeissner Mfg. Co., Inc., a family business that began as a small contract sewing operation in thelate 1950sand moved into pool filtration through the 1970s. By the end of that decade the company was producing cartridge filters for the industry'soriginal equipment manufacturers, and in1985it introduced the Unicel brand as aftermarket replacements. It's still owned and operated by the Meissner family today.

Are Unicel filters as good as the original manufacturer's filter?

Unicel builds its cartridges tomeet or exceed original equipment specifications— and that's a meaningful distinction here, because the company produced cartridges for the industry's OEMs before it ever launched its own brand. Unicel cartridges usedurable, chemical-resistant end capswith an exact fit,high-capacity media,uniform pleatsfor optimal flow, and asolid corethat resists collapsing under pressure.

Where are Unicel filters made?

Unicel filters are manufactured inCalifornia, with components sourcedexclusively in the United States. The line comprisesnearly 500 products, covering replacement cartridges, D.E. grids, filter discs, and related parts.

How do I find the right Unicel filter for my spa?

Unicel cartridges areinterchangeable with all major filter brands, and each one cross-references to a list of original equipment part numbers. The most reliable method is topull your current cartridge and read the part number printed on it, then match it to the Unicel cross-reference. If the number has worn off,measure your old cartridge— diameter, length, and the size and style of the openings at each end — and match those instead. Also confirmhow many cartridgesyour spa uses.

How long does a Unicel filter last?

Cartridge life depends on how heavily the spa is used, yourwater chemistry, and how consistently you clean the filter. Many Unicel cartridges useReemay® polyester media, whosetrilobal fibersprovide considerably more surface area than standard rounded fibers — which increases dirt-holding capacity and extends the time between cleanings. With regular rinsing and periodic deep cleaning, a well-maintained cartridge commonly serves a year or more.

When should I replace my filter instead of cleaning it?

Replace the cartridge when thecycle between cleanings becomes noticeably shorter, when you seelow water flowor high differential pressure, when the media has atear, or if thecenter core collapses. Pleats that stay permanently flattened or discolored after a proper cleaning are another sign the cartridge has reached the end of its service life.

About UNICEL®

Unicel is the nation's leading manufacturer of replacement filter cartridges for pools and spas — and the story behind it is a genuinely American one. In the late 1950s, Richard T. Meissner started a small part-time contract sewing operation. Through the 1970s, Meissner Mfg. Co., Inc. moved into swimming pool filter bags, then D.E. grid element covering, and by the end of that decade the company was producing cartridge filters for the industry's original equipment manufacturers.

That's the detail that matters most: Unicel was building the filters that went into new spas long before it sold a replacement. In 1985, the company introduced the UNICEL brand so dealers and technicians could source elements built to O.E.M. specifications from a single place — even for equipment brands they didn't carry. Today the line spans nearly 500 products, all manufactured in California with components sourced exclusively in the USA.

By staying focused on one thing — filtration — Unicel has built deep expertise in a critical corner of the industry, from media development to cartridge design. Every cartridge is built with chemical-resistant end caps for an exact fit, high-capacity filter media, uniform pleats for optimal flow, and a solid core that holds its shape under pressure. Meissner Mfg. Co., Inc. remains owned and operated by the Meissner family, still recognized for quality and service. American-made products, world-class service.
