Zodiac – Filter cartridge set, blue – 201317A-003

The Zodiac 201317A-003 is a pair of replacement blue filter cartridges designed for use with a range of Aquabot and compatible automatic pool cleaners. These cartridges serve as the primary filtration media within the robotic cleaner, capturing debris, dirt, algae, and fine particles from the pool water during each cleaning cycle. Sold as a set of two, they are a direct OEM replacement part ensuring continued performance and hygiene for your pool cleaning system.

Filter cartridges in robotic pool cleaners work by drawing pool water through the filtration medium as the cleaner moves along the pool surface. The blue cartridges in this set are engineered to trap fine particles while maintaining adequate water flow through the unit. When the cartridges become saturated with debris, they are removed, rinsed clean, and reinstalled — making them reusable over multiple cleaning sessions before eventually requiring replacement. Replacing worn or clogged cartridges restores the cleaner’s suction efficiency and ensures the water returned to the pool is properly filtered.

Compatibility and application

According to available product research, the 201317A-003 filter cartridge pair is compatible with several Aquabot models including the MRT, I2 Breeze XLS, and Rapids XLS automatic pool cleaners. These are robotic or automatic pool cleaning units intended for use in residential swimming pools. The cartridges are a consumable maintenance component and should be inspected regularly and replaced when the filter media shows signs of wear, tearing, or reduced filtration capacity. Using genuine Zodiac replacement cartridges helps maintain the cleaner’s designed filtration efficiency and protects internal components from debris ingestion.

Buying guidance and practical considerations

This product is the correct choice if you own an Aquabot MRT, I2 Breeze XLS, or Rapids XLS pool cleaner and need to replace your existing filter cartridges. The set of two ensures you have a spare cartridge ready, or that both positions in the cleaner are refreshed simultaneously. As a genuine Zodiac spare part with the specific SKU 201317A-003, it is the recommended replacement to maintain original cleaning and filtration performance. Always rinse cartridges after each use and allow them to dry where possible to extend their service life.
