Hayward StarClear Plus 120 Sq. Ft. Cartridge Filter | W3C12002
No. This cartridge filter uses its cartridge element or elements as the filtration media. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Match the circulation-system flow and expected debris load to the filter’s ratings, then check service space and connection sizes. A pool’s gallon capacity alone does not determine the complete selection. Establish the clean operating pressure after setup and follow Hayward’s pressure-rise and maintenance instructions. Cleaning frequency changes with debris load, bathing use and water conditions. Hayward lists 1-year parts coverage for W3C12002. Labor coverage is not listed. Eligibility and exclusions are subject to the applicable Hayward warranty terms. Use the manufacturer downloads on this page for setup, operation and maintenance. Additional exact-model resources are available on Hayward’s product support page. This listing is for Hayward W3C12002. Match the complete model number before ordering; a similar model name does not establish identical fit, features or warranty.Product FAQs

Description
Description
Choose the right filtration capacity
Hayward W3C12002 is a StarClear Plus cartridge filter for routine pool-water filtration. Its reusable cartridge element captures dirt as water circulates, then can be removed for cleaning rather than cleaned through a sand-filter backwash cycle.
Why choose this model?
Reusable filtration
Clean the cartridge element according to the manual and inspect it for damage before returning it to service.
Service access
The tank closure and air-relief provisions help your pool professional access the filter for periodic maintenance.
Select the right configuration
Match filtration area, connection size and service clearance to your pool equipment instead of choosing by tank appearance alone.
Before you order
Have your pool professional check design flow, plumbing connections, working pressure and clearance for servicing. Filter ratings describe the filter; they do not guarantee the flow delivered by your pump.
