Overview

Keep your hot tub water clear and your pump running smoothly with the Ketofa PDM30 spa filter replacement cartridge. This oval, pleated filter is designed to replace standard PDM30 parts and is compatible with Dream Maker spas from 2013 to 2018, along with a range of popular spa models. Built to withstand routine use and seasonal debris, it aims to maintain steady flow and efficient filtration without compromising spa enjoyment.

Designed for real-life spa owners, this cartridge emphasizes practical performance: a robust media layer, a durable center core, and an easy-to-clean design that supports regular maintenance routines. It’s not about guarantees, but about providing a reliable option that can help you keep water quality consistent while reducing pump strain over time.

Key benefits

• Compatibility – replaces PDM30, 461269, FC9940M and suits Dream Maker spas from 2013–2018; crossovers are considered for broad user scenarios.
• Durable media – trilobal filtration fabric captures debris like hair, leaves, dust, and sediment while maintaining flow in challenging conditions.
• Strong core – extruded PVC center core provides structural integrity and even distribution of water through the filter media.
• Washable design – easy to rinse and recondition, helping extend cartridge life with proper care.
• Performance and efficiency – designed to support lower pressure and higher flow, potentially reducing pump wear and energy use over time.

Real‑world use and what to expect

In everyday spa maintenance, this filter helps keep circulating water cleaner between cleanings. Its oval shape and precise dimensions aim to fit compatible housings without the need for tools or adapters. Users may notice more consistent jet activity and clearer water when paired with routine cleaning and proper spa maintenance practices.

Key specifications and materials

The filter measures roughly 9 3/4 inches in length with a 3-inch top hole and an oval bottom of about 4 1/8 by 3 inches. It provides an approximate 30 square feet of filtration area and uses a media weight around 4 oz/yd². These choices contribute to durability and effective filtration in typical spa environments.

Care tips

• Rinse after heavy use to maintain flow and reduce debris buildup.
• Follow regular spa maintenance recommendations to maximize the filter’s service life, typically around 1–2 years with proper care.
