Hayward CARTRIDGE ELEMENT C150S

The Hayward Cartridge Element for the C150S series is a high-capacity filtration core designed exclusively for the SwimClear single-element filter system. It is constructed from a premium, heavy-duty polyester media that is precision-pleated to provide a massive 150 square feet of effective surface area, which allows it to trap microscopic debris, silt, and organic matter while maintaining a high flow rate. The element features reinforced molded end caps and a rugged internal PVC core that prevents the pleats from fluttering or collapsing under the intense hydraulic pressure of a pool’s circulation pump. This durable construction ensures that the filter remains energy efficient by minimizing backpressure and extending the time between necessary cleanings. Designed for longevity, the material resists chemical degradation and can be easily maintained by rinsing with a garden hose to restore its dirt-holding capacity. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward C150S Cartridge Element is approximately 6.8 pounds in its retail packaging, while the actual dry weight of the filter element itself is roughly 5.9 pounds.
