{"product_id":"hayward_cx250re","title":"Hayward Cartridge Element for StarClear C250 Cartridge Filter | CX250RE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward Cartridge Element (CX250RE) is the OEM replacement filter element for the StarClear C250 Cartridge Filter. Sourced directly from Hayward, this is the exact element your filter was designed and tested with — ensuring the original fit, hydraulic performance, and filtration quality are fully maintained at every replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CX250RE sits inside the StarClear C250 filter housing and captures dirt, debris, and fine particulate as pool water is pushed through its pleated filter media. Replacing this element on schedule restores the filter's design flow rate and keeps the water in your pool clear and properly filtered.\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;\"\u003eCX250RE\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\u003ePoolaroo Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, pull the existing element from your StarClear C250 and measure its length and outer diameter — then compare against the element you remove. A filter that has been running with a non-OEM element may have slightly different dimensions. The CX250RE is engineered to Hayward's exact tolerances, so confirming your current element matches will ensure a perfect drop-in fit. When cleaning, rinse the pleats gently with a garden hose (working top to bottom) — avoid pressure washers, which can force debris deeper into the media and degrade the fabric prematurely. For oil and sunscreen buildup, soak overnight in a cartridge filter cleaner solution before rinsing. Replace the element at the first sign of torn, cracked, or permanently stained media rather than waiting for pressure to climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual: --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303496438035,"sku":"CX250RE","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-cartridge-element-for-starclear-c250-cartridge-filter-cx250re.webp?v=1785745051","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_cx250re","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
