Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a genuine Emaux or Hayward cartridge?

No — this is a quality generic (aftermarket) replacement cartridge manufactured to fit the Emaux ICF150, Hayward SwimClear C150S, and Hayward CX100XRE filter housings. It is not an OEM part.

How do I know this cartridge will fit my filter?

Verify your filter model matches one of the compatible models listed above, and confirm the dimensions: 590mm length, 260mm diameter, and 102mm open hole ID at both ends.

How often should I replace my cartridge filter element?

Most cartridge filter elements should be cleaned every 4–6 weeks during the swimming season and replaced every 1–2 years depending on usage, water quality, and bather load.

Can I clean this cartridge before replacing it?

Yes — rinse the cartridge with a garden hose between replacements to extend its service life. Avoid using a high-pressure washer as this can damage the filter pleats.
