Do you have a Hayward SwimClear cartridge filter? The kind that requires four replacement cartridges? Please be aware that there are many different models of the Hayward SwimClear, each requiring a different size replacement cartridge filter.
Hayward lists all of the different sizes of the Hayward SwimClear four cartridge models on the label of the filter body. They are supposed to clearly mark which model is yours. However, many filters do not have that clear identification. Without knowing your specific SwimClear filter model you will have to identify the part number and/or measurements of your current cartridges to ensure you purchase the correct replacements.
Turn off your pump, release the air pressure in your filter using the air relief valve and remove the filter lid. Most filter cartridges will have a manufacturer and part number located on the plastic end cap. Most common replacement filters are Hayward originals, Unicel, and Pleatco brand filters. These are all viable options to fit in the various Hayward SwimClear filter series models. While you have the filter open it may also be a good idea to note down the length and diameter of one of your filter cartridges. Having the measurements will provide another method to ensure you order the correct replacement cartridges.

- Hayward SwimClear C2025 - uses the Hayward CX480XRE which will show part number C480E on the actual filter cartridge endcap
