Pool Filter Cartridge for SwimClear C3020 - Replaces C3030, C580E

The Hayward CX580-XRE replacement filter cartridge fits SwimClear C3030, C3025, C3020, C3000, and C3000S filter systems and delivers the deep-pleated filtration your big pool needs to stay crystal clear all season. At 19.625 inches tall and 7 inches in outer diameter with a 3-inch center opening, this cartridge drops right into your existing Hayward housing with no shimming, no adapters, and no modifications. The rigid molded end caps create a leak-proof seal so every drop of water passes through the filter media—not around it—while the accordion-pleated polyester fabric traps dirt, oils, and fine debris before they cloud your water. Cross-referenced as Pleatco PA81, Unicel C-7483, and Filbur FC-1225, this cartridge is built to OEM specifications and engineered to handle the high flow rates your multi-cartridge SwimClear system was designed to deliver.

Plan to rinse your cartridges every four to six weeks during swim season using a garden hose with a nozzle, and replace them every 12 to 18 months or whenever your filter pressure gauge climbs 8 to 10 PSI above its clean baseline. If your water stays cloudy even with balanced chemistry, it's time for fresh cartridges. Swapping them is simple: power down the pump, release the air relief valve at the top of the filter, open the housing, lift out the old cartridges, and set the new Poolzilla filters in their place. A fresh set takes pressure off your pump motor, reduces your chemical demand, and restores the powerful circulation your pool needs to handle heavy bather loads and summer swim parties. Order your replacement cartridges today so your SwimClear system is ready when you are.
