Hayward STAR-CLEAR PLUS ELEMENT GUIDE

The Hayward Star-Clear Plus Element Guide is a precision-molded internal component designed to maintain the perfect vertical alignment of the filter cartridge within the tank housing. Specifically engineered for the Star-Clear Plus series, such as the C751, C900, and C1200 models, this guide is fabricated from high-impact, chemical-resistant thermoplastic to ensure long-term durability in chlorinated and salt-water environments. Its primary mechanical function is to center the filter element over the bottom collector manifold while providing a stable interface for the top head assembly, which prevents the cartridge from shifting or tilting under intense hydraulic pressure. By ensuring the element remains perfectly seated, the guide helps maintain the integrity of the internal seals, effectively preventing unfiltered water from bypassing the media and returning to the pool. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Star-Clear Plus Element Guide is approximately 0.6 pounds in its retail packaging, while the actual weight of the molded guide component itself is roughly 0.4 pounds.
