Just replace one of two with a larger capacity filter. In our Georgia waters we have a lot of 'debris' which requires frequent cleaning. Had two pumps go 'out' from lack of water flow (we think). Replaced the hose from thru-hull to filter and from filter to pump with 1" vs 3/4" originally installed with the very small filters. So far so good. I believe Beneteau sized this system for only one AC per filter/pump in Europe, and added the second for USA, which may have caused the system to starve the pumps. Also nice to have a 'glass' bowl to see condition of the filter. Comments and feedback welcome, Scott
