Replacing a worn or clogged element with the genuine Hayward part ensures the filter operates at its rated 200 sq ft filtration area, maintaining proper flow rates and water clarity without compromising the integrity of the filter housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHayward Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eCX2020RE\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eEach (1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Area\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e200 sq ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFits Into\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eHayward\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eStarClear\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eC2002\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompatibility is based on Hayward parts documentation and available OEM records. This is not an exhaustive list. For certainty, verify the part number in your filter's manual or on the original cartridge before ordering.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePoolaroo Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, measure your existing element's length and outer diameter and compare against your filter's spec sheet — a worn cartridge can compress slightly over time and appear shorter than a new one. When it's time to clean, rinse the pleats with a garden hose working top to bottom (never a pressure washer, which damages the media). For embedded sunscreen and body oils, soak the element overnight in a dedicated cartridge filter cleaner before rinsing. Replacing the element at the first sign of reduced pressure improvement after cleaning — rather than running it until it fails — keeps your StarClear performing at its full 200 sq ft rated capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual: --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774142415123,"sku":"CX2020RE","price":258.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/HPPCX2020RE_0.jpg?v=1747700766","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward-c2002-cartridge-element-cx2020re","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
