POOLPURE C1200 Pool Filter Replace Hayward CX1200RE, HAY823C, Pleatco PA120

I have had this installed since 10/2023 and it finally needs replacing but not dud to old straps or dislodged filter ends. This it just needs cleaning but is ot worth it? I bought a new one and installed it and ran tests. Flow loss on new compared to no cartridge using lab grade flow meter was negligible, in fact some readings were better with new filter. I suspect from smoothing flow from media. The old filter after jet spray clean showed an average flow reduction of 20%! A conversion to additional running cost due to reduced flow was about $72/year on a cleaned filter!! Bottom line, replacing a filter once a year or a little longer costs less running at lower flow.

I buy one of these every season, but with proper maintenance these filters could easily last 2-3 seasons, maybe more. These filters are durable high quality filters that do an excellent job of keeping my pool crystal clear. I trust these filters to keep my family safe from contaminants. They are easy to install and easy to clean. The materials are high quality. I’ve read of other brands coming apart, or breaking down prematurely, but I’ve never had any issues with these. I have used my older filters to do initial cleanings after opening the pool in the spring, and even old ones hold up easily. If you want to make an easy purchase having confidence of buying a high quality low cost filter, look no further. This is the one you need.

I’ve never used the big brand filters that are more expensive. This seems to work fine. Same fit and filters well. I change it about once a year, so it provides meaningful savings over the big name brand.

Great refill

I bought the POOLPURE PLF120A Pool Filter as a replacement for my old Hayward C1200, and it fits perfectly. The installation was straightforward, and it seems to be working fine so far. The water in my pool looks clean and clear after a few days of running it. The build quality feels decent, though not quite as heavy-duty as the original Hayward filter. For the price, it’s a solid option and does the job well. We’ll see how long it lasts through the season, but overall, I’m satisfied with the purchase.

One of the best products I’ve ever bought, cost effective and outstanding performance. This is my second time purchasing this product. I highly recommend it.

I have ordered several of these replacement filters because of the value in price versus a pool store that charges double the fact that it’s easy to install and will last me at least 1 to 2 full seasons before breaking down and needing to be replaced again. These filters are easy to install as all you have to do is place them in your pool canister. They are easy to remove and clean. All you need is a water hose and I have yet to have any of these filters fail and not operate properly I have had a pool full of algae on several occasions and these filters seem to help me clean my pool as well as the cartridges don’t easily stain so that once you clean them with a straight head stream in between the plates, they will go white and you are able to circulate the water within your pool to maximum capacity each filter order needs to be properly sized to the canister that you have attached to your

Perfect fit works like it should
