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: the CX880XRE is 25 1\/2\" long with a 7\" outer diameter. If your current cartridge measures differently, cross-check the part number molded into the end cap — it is the most reliable way to confirm the correct replacement. When it's time to clean, rinse the pleats with a garden hose working top-to-bottom; avoid pressure washers, which can damage the filter media. For a deeper clean after heavy use or algae treatments, soak the element overnight in a dedicated cartridge filter cleaner to break down embedded oils and sunscreen. Because the SwimClear is a multi-element filter, replacing all elements at the same time ensures balanced flow across every cartridge and extends the service life of the full set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual: --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774176887059,"sku":"CX880XRE","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-cartridge-element-for-swimclear-cartridge-filter-cx880xre_1a6889ed-8365-43b6-9134-9cb71943d93e.webp?v=1782777609","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward-cartridge-element-cx880xre","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
