Hayward REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGE ELEMENT

The Hayward Replacement Cartridge Element is a high-efficiency filtration component engineered to maintain superior water clarity by capturing fine debris, silt, and organic contaminants. Constructed from a premium, non-woven polyester fabric pleated around a rugged, chemical-resistant PVC core, this element provides a high surface area to ensure maximum dirt-holding capacity and optimal hydraulic flow. The precision-molded end caps are thermally bonded to the pleated media to create a structural seal that prevents water bypass, ensuring all circulating water is properly filtered before returning to the pool. These elements are designed for long-term durability, resisting the degrading effects of salt, high chlorine levels, and mineral buildup, and they can be easily cleaned with a standard garden hose to restore performance. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of a standard Hayward Replacement Cartridge Element is approximately 5.4 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the filter element itself is roughly 4.7 pounds.
