Benefits

The FCH719425 4-pack helps keep compatible Hayward SwimClear filters operating at their best. Over time, filter cartridges become loaded with dirt, oils, scale, and debris that cannot always be fully removed by cleaning. Replacing the full set helps restore balanced flow across all four cartridges.

A fresh cartridge set can improve water clarity, reduce system pressure, and help the pump move water more efficiently. Replacing all four cartridges together is recommended so each element has similar flow and filtration performance.

Included Components

Filter tank, filter lid, clamp, manifold, air relief assembly, O-rings, plumbing parts, and installation labor are sold separately unless specifically included by the supplier.

Compatibility Notes

This 4-pack is designed for compatible Hayward SwimClear C3025 and C3030 cartridge filter systems.

Common replacement references include:

• Hayward SwimClear C3025

• Hayward OEM cartridge CX580XRE
• Pleatco PA81 / PA81-PAK4

Always confirm the filter model number and cartridge dimensions before ordering. Cartridge sets can look similar but vary by length, diameter, end-cap style, and filtration area.

Installation Notes

Turn off the pool pump and relieve all system pressure before opening the filter. Remove the old cartridges and inspect the inside of the filter tank for debris, cracked manifolds, worn O-rings, or damaged internal parts.

Install all four new cartridges evenly and make sure they seat correctly on the manifold and bottom supports. Reassemble the filter, secure the clamp according to manufacturer instructions, open the air relief, and restart the system.

After installation, check for leaks and note the clean starting pressure on the filter gauge. Clean cartridges as needed when pressure rises according to the filter manufacturer’s instructions.
