Hayward Replacement Cartridge CX760RE for Star-Clear Plus C751 — ~100 sq ft, 17-3/8" tall, reinforced pleats

Hayward CX760RE is a genuine replacement cartridge element engineered to restore peak filtration performance for the Star-Clear Plus C751 cartridge filter.

This replacement cartridge is built from reinforced polyester media and an extruded core to maximize filtration area, maintain strong water flow, and extend time between cleanings. Sized specifically for Hayward C751 systems, the element measures 9-1/16" outside diameter and 17-3/8" tall, providing approximately 100 square feet of filter surface. It's a factory-style part packaged with Hayward-branded end caps and wrap so you can identify authentic components quickly.

How does this cartridge improve pool water clarity?

The CX760RE uses dense, reinforced polyester pleats to trap fine particulate and reduce cloudiness without restricting circulation. Its extruded core keeps pleats evenly spaced, which sustains high flow rates while capturing debris. Regular replacement prevents bypass and maintains optimal filtration efficiency.

• Approx. 100 square feet of filtration media for finer particle capture.
• Reinforced polyester pleats resist tearing and hold dirt between cleanings.
• Extruded core design preserves consistent water flow and reduces energy load on the pump.

Will this cartridge fit my Hayward Star-Clear Plus C751 filter?

Yes — the CX760RE is designed as a direct replacement for the C751 Star-Clear Plus model. Its outside diameter and overall height match Hayward specifications so installation is straightforward. Always compare measurements and end-cap style to confirm fit before purchasing.

• O.D.: 9-1/16" — matches C751 housing clearance.
• Height: 17-3/8" — aligns with filter chamber spacing.
• Hayward-branded end caps ensure proper seating and identification.

How should I maintain and clean the replacement cartridge?

Clean the cartridge routinely to maximize its effective life: rinse loose debris, soak in a cartridge cleaner periodically, and inspect for damaged pleats. Replace the element when pleats are torn, flattened, or when pressure rise persists after cleaning. Proper chemical balance in the pool also helps the cartridge last longer.

• Rinse with a pressure nozzle after each heavy debris load.
• Soak monthly in a cartridge-cleaning solution for deep grease and scale removal.
• Inspect seals and pleats before reinstallation; replace if compromised.

What are the construction and compatibility benefits of using a genuine Hayward element?

Authentic Hayward cartridges are manufactured to match the tolerances and chemical resistance expected by Hayward equipment. Using a genuine element reduces the risk of poor fit, premature wear, or chemical incompatibility. The packaging and branded end caps make identification and warranty support easier.

• Reinforced polyester resists pool chemicals and physical wear.
• Precision-engineered core sustains flow and reduces energy consumption.
• Individually wrapped with Hayward end-cap labeling for authenticity.

Who this is for: Pool owners and maintenance professionals who operate Hayward Star-Clear Plus C751 filters and want a reliable, OEM-style cartridge to preserve water clarity, reduce runtime, and safeguard pump performance. It’s suited for both above-ground and in-ground setups where the C751 specification is required, and for anyone who prefers genuine Hayward parts to maintain system longevity and compatibility.
