Hayward CCX1500RE is a 150-square-foot replacement cartridge element engineered to restore filtration performance in compatible Hayward XStream and Star-Clear pool filter models.

This replacement cartridge is sized and constructed to match Hayward's CC1500 series and select XStream and Star-Clear filter housings. It combines reinforced polyester media with a full-flow design to help collect debris, extend run times between cleanings, and maintain water clarity. The element measures 9-inch outside diameter by 23-5/16-inch height and weighs approximately 7 pounds, making it a direct-fit swap for specified Hayward models.

Which Hayward filters does this cartridge fit?

The CCX1500RE is made to be compatible with several Hayward cartridge housings across the XStream and Star-Clear lines. Before purchasing, verify your filter model number to ensure an exact fit.

• Also fits Star-Clear cartridge filter models C225, C250, and C500.

How does the 150-square-foot design affect filtration?

A 150 sq ft surface area provides substantial media for trapping fine and coarse particles, which increases the time between required cleanings and helps keep pool water clearer. The larger media area also reduces pressure build-up inside the filter, improving circulation efficiency.

• Generous media surface captures more debris than smaller cartridges.
• Longer filter cycles mean fewer cleanings and lower maintenance.
• Full-flow design helps maintain steady water circulation and lower pressure spikes.

What are the physical specs and material features?

This replacement element is constructed from reinforced polyester media designed for durability and repeated cleanings. Its measurements and weight are intended for an easy swap into compatible Hayward housings without modification.

How do I install and maintain this replacement cartridge?

Replacing the cartridge is straightforward: shut off the pump, relieve system pressure, remove the filter lid, swap the old element for the new CCX1500RE, then secure the lid and restart the system. Regular rinsing and periodic deep cleaning will help preserve filtration efficiency and extend the cartridge lifespan.
