Product Overview
Hot Tub Things® MicroClean Ultra II Inner Filter Cartridges are engineered to fit Sundance® 880 Series spas (2024 and later) and select 780 Series 2026 models equipped with MicroClean Ultra II or MicroClean Ultra II Lite, cross-referencing OEM part number 6473-453S. As the fine-filtration inner core of Sundance's two-part system, this pleated cartridge is designed to sit inside the matching outer cartridge and trap the smaller particles the outer stage lets through.
This is a disposable inner component meant to be replaced rather than deep-cleaned, and it installs in seconds without tools — remove the old inner core from inside the outer cartridge, insert the new one, and reinstall the assembly. It's built with durable pleated polyester filtration media to maximize surface area for strong water flow.
Regular replacement on a 12-18 month cycle (adjusted for your actual usage and water care) helps reduce strain on your spa pump and heater, prevents cloudy or discolored water, and extends the life of your hot tub equipment. For 880 and select 780 Series owners, this is a fit-verified aftermarket replacement without dealer pricing.
