Dimension One Spas files this cartridge as 4CH-65 cartridge (OEM 1561-06), in the Dimension One Spas group. Numbers on the row: OEM 1561-06, 1561-07; Unicel 4CH-65. 4-5/8" across, 19-5/8" long, top molded cone handle, bottom 1-1/2” male thread/MPT, 65 sq ft.
1561-06 carries this note from the catalogs: Unicel lists both 1561-06 (65 sq ft) and 1561-07 (80 sq ft) against 4CH-65 and notes the original was 23-3/4" overall. Two retailers (SpaStore and Hot Tub Outpost) tie OEM 1561-06 and 1561-07 to Unicel 4CH-65 at 4-5/8" x 19-5/8" with a handle top and 1-1/2" MPT bottom, 65 sq ft. They also name Pleatco PTL65H-P4 / PTL65 and Filbur FC-0171, but neither number appears in the Pleatco 2023 or Filbur catalogs, so they are not shown as equivalents.
4CH-65 is easy to confuse on the Dimension One Spas table. 4CH-940 differs by Unicel 4CH-940, Pleatco PDO-UF40P2, Filbur FC-0177, 15" long, top semi-circular handle, bottom 1-1/4" SAE thread, 40 sq ft, OEM 1561-13. 4CH-50 differs by Unicel 4CH-50, Pleatco PTL50P-4, Filbur FC-0151, 14-3/4" long, 50 sq ft, OEM 1561-05.
Pleatco and Filbur do not have a number on this row. Search 1561-06 or the Dimension One Spas part you pulled out of the spa.
Left blank on purpose: no Pleatco or Filbur equivalent in either catalog; 1561-07 (80 sq ft) maps to a 65 sq ft replacement; no model/model-year fitment in sources.
