Description
xPoolimpid’s replacement cartridge for Hayward Star-Clear CX900RE is a high-area, NSF/ANSI 50–certified filter cartridge built to trap fine debris and extend service intervals for clearer pool water.
Keeping pool water clear depends on effective filtration and easy upkeep. This Poolimpid replacement cartridge matches the size and ports of common CX900-series filters while using a tri-leaflet filtration media to boost surface area and particle capture. It is independently tested to NSF/ANSI 50 standards and manufactured to fit a range of compatible housings, making it a practical swap for routine maintenance or mid-season refreshes.
How does this cartridge improve water clarity?
The cartridge’s trilobal fiber design increases effective filtration area, which captures smaller particles than a plain pleat fabric. More surface area means longer run times between backwashes and finer removal of leaves, sand, hair, and sediment.
- 90 sq. ft. filtration area for more contaminant capture
- Tri-leaflet media enhances particle retention
- Designed to reduce cloudiness and visible debris
Will this fit my Hayward CX900RE or similar filter?
This Poolimpid cartridge is dimensioned to match Hayward CX900RE form and port sizes: 17 3/8" height, 8 15/16" outer diameter, and 4" openings top and bottom. It is also compatible with several equivalent aftermarket part numbers, but it is not an original Hayward branded item.
- Directly fits CX900RE, C900, PA90 and C9002 style housings
- Works with Unicel C-8409 and Aladdin 19002/19002SVP replacements
- Not an OEM part — compatibility listed for reference only
How often should I clean or replace this cartridge?
Cleaning frequency depends on pool usage and environment, but routine maintenance keeps performance high. Poolimpid recommends cleaning the cartridge approximately every six weeks under typical residential conditions, and replacing it when pleats show wear or when flow and clarity no longer recover after cleaning.
- Clean every ~6 weeks for residential pools in normal conditions
- Inspect pleats and end-caps for damage at each cleaning
- Replace when physical wear or irreversible clogging occurs
What are the construction and certification details?
The cartridge uses a durable trilobal fabric and reinforced end caps engineered for longevity and repeated cleaning. Poolimpid cartridges are tested to NSF/ANSI 50 for material safety and EPA sustainability standards, offering reassurance about component quality and environmental considerations.
- Durable tri-leaflet filtration medium for extended life
- Reinforced openings and end-caps for reliable sealing
- Certified to NSF/ANSI 50 and meets EPA sustainability testing
