Hayward CARTRIDGE ELEMENT, 175 SF -STD-

The Hayward Cartridge Element, 175 sq ft (Standard), is a high‑capacity pleated filtration core designed for larger residential cartridge filter systems, offering an expanded surface area that captures fine debris while maintaining steady, efficient water flow. Its reinforced end caps and rigid internal support structure keep the pleated media stable under suction, preventing collapse and ensuring consistent performance through repeated cleaning cycles. This larger element allows for longer intervals between maintenance and helps the filtration system operate at lower pressure, improving overall efficiency and longevity. Built to withstand treated water, UV exposure, and routine handling, it provides durable, reliable filtration for demanding pool environments. Because it is a substantial full‑size cartridge with extensive pleated media, the estimated weight generally falls in the range of 4 to 6 pounds.
