Hayward REPLACEMENT ELEMENT

The Hayward Replacement Element is a precision-engineered filtration component designed to maintain water clarity by trapping fine debris, silt, and organic contaminants within a cartridge filter housing. It is constructed from a high-quality, non-woven polyester fabric pleated around a rugged internal core to maximize surface area and ensure structural integrity under the constant pressure of a pool’s hydraulic system. These elements feature reinforced end caps and high-strength bands that prevent pleat fluttering and collapse, allowing for a more uniform flow of water and increased dirt-holding capacity between cleanings. Designed for durability and ease of maintenance, the specialized fabric resists chemical degradation and can be periodically rinsed to restore performance. For shipping and handling purposes, the estimated weight of a standard Hayward Replacement Element is approximately 6.2 pounds in its protective retail box, while the actual dry weight of the filter media and its structural components is roughly 5.1 pounds.
