This is the direct Hayward-sourced element — engineered to the exact specifications of your filter's original equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CX225RE element sits inside the Micro StarClear C225 filter tank and captures particulate matter as pool water passes through its pleated media. When the element becomes loaded with debris, it is removed, cleaned, and reinstalled — restoring flow rate and filtration clarity. Replacing the element with the correct OEM part ensures a proper fit within the filter body and maintains the filter's designed hydraulic performance.\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;\"\u003eCX225RE\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\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;\"\u003eMicro StarClear Cartridge Filter 25 Sq.Ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eC225\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.

When cleaning, rinse the pleats with a garden hose from the inside out; avoid pressure washers, which can damage the media and shorten cartridge life. For embedded sunscreen or body oils, a soak in a dedicated cartridge filter cleaner solution overnight will restore flow far more effectively than repeated rinsing alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual: --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774171250963,"sku":"CX225RE","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-cartridge-element-for-micro-starclear-cartridge-filter-cx225re-2.webp?v=1785399896","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward-c225-cartridge-element-cx225re","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
