    • Excellent Replacement for Previous Hayward Filter
Our 23,500 gal. pool equipment suffered collapse from the 2021 Winter Storm that hit Texas over 6 weeks ago (single digits for a couple of days and no electricity). Pump seals burst, heater header assembly cracked, and every join and lever cracked... PLUS the bottom of our Hayward Filter cracked wide open. A pool sitting idle for 6 weeks becomes a chlorinated pond. Not pretty at all. Five weeks later, our pool company was able to get out to replace/fix everything but the filter. Said it would be weeks, 12 weeks or longer to get a replacement filter. Found this one on Amazon and it was delivered within 6 days. The pool tech made time and installed the filter 4 days later. The fittings were different from the original, so he had to cut the existing plumbing and redo some joins. We initially thought the tube and screen for air relief valve was not included but found those rattling around in the bottom of the filter. The filter has been running now for 48 hours with one cleaning of the cartridges so far, and will need another today. The pool is beginning to clear up and I owe it to the Hayward Filter. It has been working steady and I expect it to be just as good as the one it replaced, which worked terrific for the 10 years prior to this Valentine's Week deep freeze. ... show more

    • Promising Replacement for D.E. Filter
Decided to switch from a D.E. filter to cartridge. Filter has been piped in with all PVC to an above ground 24' round pool. I haven't opened the pool yet but did run the filter to monitor its operation. Everything is running smoothly. Time will tell how it compares to the D.E. filter it replaces. Everything I've heard about cartridge filters has me very optimistic about the expected results. ... show more

I had problems, but I want to start off saying that my family has had nothing but positive experiences with Hayward(the company not the city). I was replacing the C3020 with the C3030. I broke the manifold on my old filter from purchasing filters that were too small, that was my fault, but it was about time to replace the whole thing anyway. Called Leslies…once I hung up the phone with them, I immediately went on amazon and paid for the item and was being delivered Monday morning(did this on Saturday). I saw that the pressure gauge was cracked, but was hoping it would still work, it didn’t, but I know Hayward will send another one(did I mention they are great?). That wasn’t the biggest problem. The biggest problems were the inlet and outlet were about ¾ of an inch higher that the C3020, the union connectors were now 2 ½ inch and the C3030 was a bit fatter than the C3020. The ¾ of inch height difference was fixed by a piece of old growth redwood siding placed underneath the pump. Because the C3030 is a little bigger you can see I had to add a few inches of pipe, that wasn’t difficult either, though finding the pieces to connect the 2 ½ inch union connectors to the original 2 inch pipe was not fun. Home Depot does not carry 2 ½ inch connectors, at least not at our local store. So went to a plumbing supply store in the next town over. Got what I needed put everything together and of course it leaked. I created 16 new connections and there was only two that I really cared about and of course it was the union connection for the inlet that was leaking. So I guess I will be buying another union connector on amazon, luckily I used a 2 inch threaded pipe fitting at the union connection for this exact reason. Should be an easy fix, just frustrating, and already left a message with Hayward about the pressure gauge, I am sure I will hear back from them soon. Ran pump for 24 hours and you can see the results….BEAUTIFUL! ... show more

    • Should have done this years ago
This replaced a 500lb sand filter I had for a 25K gallon pool with spa. My water hasn't been this clear EVER. Even when I first got the pool, it wasn't this clear. Bubbles underwater are in HD! Bought an extra set of filters in case they get discontinued but the install was definitely DIY friendly.

    • Cleared my pool in 3 days
At first the filter arrived damaged but the vendor was very helpful and took back the damaged unit and replaced it with a new one. The connection was about 1" higher than our previous filter but since our pump was sitting on the ground before it was easy to raise it up . Compared to our previous one cartridge filter which only managed to clear the water after 2 weeks of 9h/day runs, this unit created crystal clear water in 3 days of 10h running (water was very green). It's also less tall so we cant see it anymore behind the gas pool water heater, which is a nice unexpected bonus ... show more

    • Love it over DE but the filters are still a pain to clean.
So far I’m pretty happy with this filter. I’m a convert from a DE Filter system. My pool looks just as clean with this filter system. I hated removing all 15 grids from my DE filter and cleaning them at the end of summer. While this system is much easier to dismantle the filters are still a pain in the rearend to clean. I want there to be a washing machine for these so I can stick all four filters in it and walk away. The pleats of the filters are hardly clean after several revolutions with the hose and a few aftermarket filter cleaners. Design the filters so they can be cleaned easier. Other than my diatribe about the filters I’m pleased with the quality of my new filter thus far. I will give an update in a few years. ... show more
