Replacement cartridge for the Hayward Star-Clear Plus CX1200RE - cross-referenced to Unicel C-1200 / C-8412, Pleatco PA120 and Filbur FC-1293. It carries 125 sq ft of pleated polyester (Reemay-type spunbond) media in a 8-15/16 x 20-13/16 in frame, matching the OEM cartridge's filter area and footprint so the system runs at full flow. Priced at $21.99 versus $69.99 for the factory cartridge, with a typical service life of 12-24 months, or whenever the gauge reads 8-10 psi above clean. The spunbond media holds its pleat shape through repeated cleanings, so one cartridge can be washed and returned to service across the season. Between cycles, hose it off top to bottom at an angle - lift debris out of the pleats rather than driving it deeper - and degrease quarterly if sunscreen or scale builds up. Installation drops straight into the housing - no tools beyond the lid.

Ships in 2-5 business days from Indiana, with free shipping on orders over $49.
