Yes, this cartridge is a type "B". It has a big "B" printed on the label! I too have a 18' x 48" intex pool and this was the right filter for it!

I JUST RECEIVED THIS ITEM AND IT IS A TYPE "B" FITLER FOR THE LARGER INTEX POOLS. NOT A TYPE "A". I HAVE A 18' X 48" POOL AND THIS WAS THE RIGHT FILTER.

This seems to filter the fine sediment much better than the smaller "A" cartridge combined with the smaller 1500GPH pump. I purchased the 2500 intex pump as I was dissatisfied with the 1500 pump's performance. I have the larger 18' pool and it simply didn't do the job. Now I have learned to run the filter a few hours per day....if I use the pool or not. If you rinse the filter out every other day and you should be happy. Each filter last me a few weeks, at least....providing I keep it rinsed on a regular basis. Seller was very good, too....a smooth transaction.

This filter works great with the proper pump/filter combination. I was able to locate the exact same filter at Wal-Mart, which was cheaper since I didn't have to spend over $8 to have it shipped. Good filter.

Great price on my case of pool filters - never could have found them this cheap. They are exactly as shown in picture.

First it's the only game in town. The Easy Pool filters have ther own replacement cartriges and there is no generic brand available to my knowlege. You can clean them but the tiny micro particals will remain traped in the filter. You really have to replace them as soon as you get tired of washing them off. When I have to clean the filter cartridge more than once a week. I replace it. I get cleaner water, better circulation due to increased pump presure, actually that is due to less restriction in flow. I do not waste water from atempting to clean them and they are not that costly. Everyone conditions vary but for me, I find I change the filter every month or two depending on a lot of variables. Wind, rain pool use, pollen, dirt and many more things efect the need to clean and replace the filter. Writeing a reveiw for this filter is kind of pointless. First Amazon has this filter catagorized as a toy? Ok that needs to be corrected. Since we have no choice we have to buy it, reveiws are a moot point with the exception of the seller info. I bought direct from Amazon and had no issues with value or shipping.

The suggested life of the cartridge is 2 weeks but after 8-9 days I can tell the filter needs to be changed. I even tried hosing it off every other day to extend the life of it, but I can't get it to last longer than 10 days tops!
It gets very costly to replace every 9 days. My filter pump struggles when the filter needs to be changed.

Otherwise, it does the job and is very easy to replace.

Don't replace these things every 2 weeks like the package says. That is so wasteful and just plain wrong. I have used 1 filter for almost 2 seasons and it still looks great. I take it out every 2 weeks and rinse it with the hose. Use a spray setting, not a powerful stream or you'll blow a hole in it! I spend about 2-3 minutes rinsing it and it is nearly as white as the day I bought it. Seriously...no more then 3 minutes to do it and I am watering the plants at the same time from the runoff.

This product was exactly what I wanted. Item shipped quickly even though it was ordered over the holiday weekened. Mis-classified under toys so it was more difficult to find.

[...].
After replacing the filter, the unit was still giving me a "low water flow" message.
It turned out that there were pine needles in the intake hose before the filter. After removing the pine needles everything worked right again.
If my star review seems odd, it is because I was asked to rate a swimming pool filter as a toy.
