Genuine Marquis Filtration for Crown, Elite and Celebrity Hot Tubs
Keep your Marquis® hot tub's water clear with the genuine Marquis 20690 replacement filter. This Marquis-approved 50 sq ft threaded cartridge is the filter Marquis specifies for Crown Series hot tubs from 2021 on, Elite Series models from 2020 on and select Celebrity Series models from 2018–2019.
Marquis-approved filters are tested for compatibility, reliability and durability with Marquis filtration systems, and use high-quality media with the maximum recommended surface area for their size.
The Exact Filter Marquis Specifies
Marquis's own filter finder lists part 20690 for Crown Series hot tubs from 2021 on and for the Woodstock, Vegas, Hollywood, Broadway and Monaco Elite. That covers the Elite Series from 2020 on and the Celebrity Series from 2018–2019.
A genuine filter fits and seals the way your spa was designed, so water flows through the media rather than around it.
Built for Marquis Flow Rates
Marquis warns that off-brand and knockoff filters are often designed for slow, low-flow systems and aren't suitable for Marquis hot tubs. Marquis-approved filters use quality media with the maximum recommended surface area, which Marquis says improves filter lifespan and filtration efficiency.
Reemay® Fabric for Longer Life and Less Maintenance
The 50 sq ft of pleated Reemay® filtration fabric holds more dirt for more efficient filtering. Marquis says it lasts 2.5 times longer between cleanings, so you need fewer filters over time.
Low fiber shed and stiffer pleating add durability, and the cartridge is made in the USA.
Easy Twist-In Installation
The threaded bottom screws into the filter housing, and the top handle makes it easy to grip during removal, rinsing and reinstallation.

Important Compatibility and Safety Notes
Fit and Compatibility
Marquis lists part 20690 for Crown Series hot tubs from 2021 on and for the Woodstock, Vegas, Hollywood, Broadway and Monaco Elite. That covers the Elite Series from 2020 on and the Celebrity Series from 2018–2019. The Nashville Elite uses a different 35 sq ft filter. Marquis has changed filter configurations by model and year, so always confirm part 20690 on your existing filter before ordering. If your spa uses more than one filter, order one per filter well.
Safety First
Caution: high suction. Turn off power to the hot tub before removing or installing the filter, and never operate the pump or the spa without the filter cartridge in place. When cleaning, don't use a pressure washer, stiff brush or sharp tools, which can damage the pleats. Replace the cartridge if its pleats are torn or collapsed, or if cleaning no longer restores proper flow. Always confirm the part number on your existing filter before ordering.
