Cryspool Pool Filter Cartridge 08050 — 150 sq ft Trilobal Pleat, 23-5/16" Length, CCX1500RE Compatible

Cryspool 08050 is a heavy-duty replacement pool filter cartridge designed to match CCX1500RE-compatible systems, offering 150 sq ft of trilobal-fiber filtration in a 23-5/16" length for deeper debris capture and easier cleaning.

This Cryspool cartridge replaces worn or underperforming filters in many Hayward-compatible models and other pool systems. Built from advanced trilobal fiber fabric and engineered pleats, it increases dirt-holding capacity compared with standard point-bond media while keeping water flowing efficiently. The cartridge’s exact-fit dimensions and robust end-cap construction make it a reliable swap for routine maintenance or seasonal tune-ups.

How does this filter improve water clarity and debris capture?

The trilobal-fiber media used in the Cryspool 08050 is designed to trap finer particles and provide more surface area than conventional fabrics. Pleat structure increases the active filtration area to 150 sq ft, capturing hair, pollen, sand, and other common pool contaminants without overly restricting flow.

• 150 sq ft effective filtration area for extended dirt-holding.
• Trilobal fibers increase surface area and particle retention.
• Deep-pleat design reduces frequency of pressure-rise cleanings.
• Open top and bottom 4" ports ensure compatible flow-through fit.

Will this cartridge fit my existing pump and housing?

Cryspool 08050 is sized to replace a range of common models and will fit housings that accept a 23-5/16" length and 8-15/16" outer diameter with 4" open top and bottom ports. It’s referenced for multiple Hayward and aftermarket part numbers, but always confirm measurements against your old cartridge before ordering.

• Overall length: 23-5/16" for direct replacement compatibility.
• Outer diameter: 8-15/16" for snug seating in most canisters.
• Top and bottom: 4" open ports to align with standard headers.
• Listed compatible models: includes CC1500RE, CCX1500RE references and similar.

How do I clean and maintain the Cryspool cartridge for longest life?

The cartridge is optimized for easy cleaning: its improved trilobal fabric lets trapped impurities release more readily during rinsing. Clean the element when your system pressure gauge reaches the manufacturer’s recommended return-to-clean differential to keep flow and filtration at peak performance.

• Rinse pleats with a high-pressure hose, spraying between pleats from top to bottom.
• Soak periodically in a mild filter-cleaning solution for oil and scale buildup.
• Inspect end caps and pleat integrity before reinstalling to ensure a good seal.
• Frequent cleaning extends service life and reduces total water use.

What materials and construction features make this cartridge durable?

The Cryspool cartridge uses advanced trilobal fiber cloth and reinforced end caps to resist collapse and maintain filtration efficiency. The pleat pack and bonding techniques are chosen to withstand repeated cleanings and the normal pressures of pool circulation systems.

• Trilobal fiber media for improved dirt capacity and longevity.
• Sturdy end caps to hold pleats securely in position.
• High-quality bonding reduces fiber shedding and wear.
• Designed for routine service life extension with proper care.

Who is this for? Swimmers, pool owners, and maintenance professionals who need a direct-fit, high-capacity replacement cartridge for mid-to-large residential pools will benefit from Cryspool 08050. It’s aimed at people replacing original cartridges in Hayward-compatible housings or upgrading to a filter element with larger effective area and easier cleaning. If you want a practical, durable cartridge that balances fine filtration with straightforward upkeep, this Cryspool model is made for regular service cycles and seasonal maintenance plans.
