Hayward STAR-CLEAR PLUS FILTER HEAD

The Hayward Star-Clear Plus Filter Head (commonly part number CX900B or CX1200B) is a robust, precision-molded component that serves as the upper pressure vessel lid for Star-Clear Plus series cartridge filters, including models C751, C900, and C1200. It is manufactured from extra-durable, glass-reinforced co-polymer or PermaGlass XL material, specifically chosen for its high-tensile strength and ability to resist UV degradation and chemical corrosion. This head assembly features a manual air relief valve port and a pressure gauge mounting point, and its unique design allows it to be rotated to conveniently position these instruments for easy monitoring. Unlike multi-bolt systems, this filter head is secured using a single, heavy-duty locking knob and internal O-ring seal, which simplifies access for routine cartridge cleaning while maintaining a safe, pressurized environment for the pool's hydraulic flow. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Star-Clear Plus Filter Head is approximately 5.8 pounds in its retail packaging, while the actual weight of the molded head unit itself is roughly 4.7 pounds.
