    • Pool looks great!
Size: 120 Square Foot (W3C12002)
My pool guy was quoting me $1200 for upgrading the filter to a 120sq feet system. I got lucky because I found a used "like new" item here for $350. The filter arrived and it looked brand new to me. I had to change the pipes and redo the plumbing. the tools and supplies cost me about $50 at home depot. In total, I ended up saving $800 from what my pool guy was asking. The filter is of high quality and works perfectly. The water in the pool is very clean. I am a happy customer. ... show more

    • UPDATED REVIEW: No longer love this thing
Update: Purchased this in 2017, and got less than 4 years of service out of it. That might be acceptable, but my prior Pentair performed well for probably 15 years and I expect better quality from a good name like Hayward. I still agree that this filter cleans the water VERY well, but that's where my happiness stops. Over time it became impossible to latch down the lid completely and securely (latch system is a long metal rod that you screw the top down onto). It has been leaking for several months, just a steady small stream. This week it blew out completely, and it took several inches out of the pool level before I noticed. Unfortunately, it sprayed directly into my electrical control box (on/off switch for the pump). We reseated the lid two more times, and it blew out the side both times, before we placed an order for another Pentair. We're done with Hayward filters. Poor design caused it to fail MUCH earlier than it should have. Prior review: Bought this to replace another brand filter. It was easy to hook up and cleaned the pool water much quicker than I expected, and much quicker than our old filter system! Unlike other reviewers, we had no problems with the pressure gauge being damaged. It arrived intact, and in perfect condition. However, I could see from the packaging how the pressure gauge could easily be damaged, as it sticks out from the top of the lid and has very little protection in that position from the packaging. Overall, this is a perfect filter for our roughly 15,000 gallon pool and I expect we'll get many years of service out of it. We also have a Hayward in-line chlorinator, and it has been a real workhorse, too. I'm going to switch all of our equipment to Hayward now! ... show more

    • Quality unit, great retail experience
Size: 90 Square Foot (C9002)
Was a direct replacement of prior system that lasted ten years. Though faded under intense sun the housing was still solid. The failure was the threaded rod the cap is held down with.. Saltwater had its way with it, and a turn too far with my gorilla grip snapped that puppy flush to the bottom of the casing. Insofar as the product is concerned, a stainless steel or zinc rod would hold up better, but after ten years? Its hard to complain. System came with filter already in it which was a nice surprise and explained the cost. I dont use Hayward replacement filters as i dont want to pay for them... Others are just as good for most part, with only slight inferiority. The trick is having two or three filters, allowing one to dry completely to be cleaned thoroughly, with one cleaned (or new) and the other in use... They'll last much longer than even five filters in constant use with this practice. One hint: the fittings for intake and exhaust are often tapered slightly, which means you should make liberal use of thread dope or tape, and seat them with even, constant/steady, and slow pressure until they are completely seated... There is nothing worse than cutting pvc, mocking it up sans glue/bonding agent, then putting it together with glue and realizing it leaks because you didnt seat the fitting threads properly.... Yeah, I may or may not have done that. Use thread dope or tape., a lot., make sure its seated.. Get two extra filters. Expect years of service, even in a salt water pool with consistent disagreement with metals... Ive nothong but good to say about performance.. ... show more

    • Why did I not buy this sooner?
Size: 120 Square Foot (W3C12002)
This is one of the best things I purchased for my pool. Increased the water return pressure by it's design. Easy to install and maintain. Removing, cleaning and reinstalling filter is a breeze. Looking forward to many more pool seasons.

    • Once installed, appears to work great.
Size: 120 Square Foot (W3C12002)
The StarClear Plus C1200 works & looks great. Installation was frustrating because when first turned on both the IN and OUT connections leaked. The piping that I had from old system all glued PVC with no extra pipe between fittings. Had to cut out all piping and start over. The problem was the Teflon tape didn’t stay in the threads. Used Great White pipe joint compound for PVC that took care of leaks. Also added pipe joints that can easily be opened to remove the entire cleaner case. I highly recommend the cleaner but beware of installation process (which would likely be the same regardless of pool cleaner brand). ... show more

    • Great filter ... much better than sand
Our old sand filter gave up... so I asked around ... the pool guys wanted to sell me a larger 4 cartridge filter for $1200. Then I asked a neighbor about his ... he has a 13000 gallon pool and 3/4 horse pump and this filter and has never had a problem . I have a 26000 gallon pool and 3/4 pump... this filter works amazing... my pool guy said it was too small, he is full of hot air because my return pipe is only 1 1/2 inches in diameter and you cannot push more than 60 gallons per minute through a 1 1/2 inch pipe anyway... no matter how much horsepower you have so this filter is perfect for my pool, it was very green and took two days to clear up after we replace the sand filter with this new cartridge filter... you just have to wash the filter out a little more often than you would with multiple cartridges. It’s very easy to wash the cartridge out. Whenever somebody wants to sell you something that’s bigger, ask them why and what the benefits are because if you only have a certain size return pipe only a certain amount of water can circulate through it no matter how large the filter is. ... show more
