  • Inlet and outlet fittings are not supplied
Style: W3C500
So far it's okay filter, you only have 1 option for inlet from pump, which is opposite the outlet, most other pumps give 2 for pump inlet, fittings for pump inlet and outlet should be o ring type fittings for DIY, AS FAR as automatic air discharge you still have to open the purge valve and close it, not automatic at all, a very good filter comes with the pump, the cover gasket is excellent (use oring lube to make it last), put a large cover over the filter retatiner to pro tect from the sun, you're all set, also you can get filters easily some you can not! ... show more

  • Great cartridge filter!
Style: W3C500
This product went well with my new Hayward pump. Love how easy it is to get the filter out for cleaning. Also love it has a drain plug. Great product!

  • Good replacement filter
Style: C500
I replaced an old 60 sq ft cartridge filter that had a stainless steel case with the Hayward C500 for my spa. Even though the Hayward has less sq ft, it works fine. I had to change the piping because the connections on the Hayward are in different locations, but it wasn't too difficult because the piping is PVC. The filter works well and the water in my spa is clean, I vacuumed the spa because there was dirt in the bottom, and the filter caught it all. It's easy to clean the cartridge by removing the knob on the top of the unit. My only negative is that the connections are female screwed connections. I would have preferred to have unions. I installed unions in the piping since I had to re-pipe it anyway. I would have rated the Hayward 5 stars if not for this. ... show more

  • The strength of the pump
Style: W3C500
This filter was a game changer for us. Our pool is so nice and clean and clear now. It sure made a difference in the quality of the water. I would highly recommend this

  • I like it.
Style: W3C500
The media could not be loaded. Works great as designed. I vacuum my pool twice a week and it has never clogged up on me. Then again I do wash the filter every other week. Not sure if thats an overkill but I like to keep in clean. I do want to mention that it is made out of plastic so be careful when bolted it down, you can damage it. Other then that I think its a great design and all the pool companies out here must think the same because they all seem to use this filter or the next model up. I have it paired with a Hayward 1.5 horse power pump and together they work great. ... show more
