The Aumzong W3C17502 is a 200 sq ft replacement cartridge filter element engineered to restore high-flow, fine filtration for compatible C2000/Star-Clear Plus pool systems.

Replace a worn or clogged cartridge with this high-capacity Aumzong element to recover clarity and flow in residential and light-commercial pools. Designed as a direct replacement for Hayward Star-Clear Plus replacement element C-8319, this cartridge balances large pleated surface area with serviceability so you can trap suspended particles without frequent full replacements. It’s built for common 1½"–2" plumbing and rated for typical residential duty cycles up to 150 GPM.

How does this cartridge improve my pool’s filtration?

The folded pleat design increases the total filtration area, letting the cartridge capture more debris while maintaining lower pressure rise across the filter. That means clearer water and fewer cleanings compared with a smaller or worn cartridge. The structure also helps suspend fine particles until they can be rinsed away during maintenance.

• 200 sq ft effective media area for higher dirt-holding capacity
• Pleated construction reduces pressure build-up and maintains flow
• Removes fine suspended solids for improved water clarity
• Compatible flow rating: up to 150 GPM residential
