About This Item

The Hayward Cartridge Element (CX1200RE) is the OEM replacement filter cartridge element for the StarClear Plus cartridge filter. This is Hayward's direct replacement element — engineered to the same specifications as the original — keeping your StarClear Plus running at full filtration capacity.

What It Does

The CX1200RE sits inside the StarClear Plus filter tank and captures dirt, debris, and fine particulates as pool water passes through the pleated filter media. Replacing a worn or clogged element restores the filter's designed flow rate and water clarity without replacing the entire filter housing.

Compatibility 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.

Poolaroo Pro Tip

Before ordering, measure your existing element — length and outer diameter — against the specifications above. The CX1200RE's 23 1/4" length and 8 15/16" outer diameter are your confirmation points. When it's time to clean, rinse the pleats with a garden hose working top-to-bottom; avoid pressure washing, which collapses the pleat structure and shortens element life. For oils and sunscreen buildup that a rinse won't shift, soak overnight in a dedicated filter cleaning solution before reinstalling.
