Hayward FILTER HEAD ASSEMBLY C150S

The Hayward Filter Head Assembly for the C150S series is a high-strength, precision-engineered component that acts as the pressurized top closure for the SwimClear single-element cartridge filter system. Manufactured from a glass-reinforced, UV-protected thermoplastic, this assembly is designed to maintain structural integrity under significant hydraulic loads while resisting the corrosive effects of pool chemicals and long-term sun exposure. It serves as the primary mounting point for the manual air relief valve and the system pressure gauge, allowing for safe air evacuation and real-time monitoring of internal filter pressure. The head features a specialized ergonomic design that works in conjunction with a heavy-duty locking knob to ensure a secure, uniform seal against the filter body O-ring, preventing leaks and bypass during operation. Its streamlined internal geometry helps facilitate an efficient flow of water into the filtration element to maximize cleaning performance. For shipping and installation planning, the estimated weight of the Hayward C150S Filter Head Assembly is approximately 7.2 pounds in its retail packaging, while the actual weight of the molded head unit itself is roughly 6.4 pounds.
