Hayward SwimClear Cartridge Filters
Hayward SwimClear Cartridge Filters
Four high-capacity polyester cartridge elements. Massive filtration surface area. Zero backwashing. The SwimClear™ delivers D.E.-like water clarity with far less work — trapping fine particles that make dark pool finishes look cloudy, all while running at lower pressure to extend the life of your pump and reduce energy costs.
Dark and blue pool finishes are stunning — and unforgiving. Fine particles suspended in the water that you'd barely notice in a white pool are immediately visible against a deep blue or black finish. The SwimClear™'s high-density cartridge elements filter out the fine debris, pollen, and skin particles that sand filters let pass, keeping your dark finish looking sharp and your water crystal clear all season long.
No Backwashing — Ever
No backwash valve, no waste line, no dumping hundreds of gallons of treated water down the drain. When the pressure rises, you simply remove the cartridges, rinse them with a garden hose, and reinstall — start to finish in minutes.
Keeps Your Chemicals in the Pool
Every backwash cycle flushes expensive chlorine, pH adjusters, and heated water out to waste. With SwimClear™, all of that stays in your pool — reducing chemical consumption and keeping your water temperature stable.
Energy Efficient — VSP Ready
Massive filtration surface area means lower operating pressure — reducing the workload on your pump and making SwimClear™ the ideal partner for Hayward variable-speed pumps running at low RPM for maximum efficiency.
Low-Profile Reach-Around Handle
The ergonomic handle design allows for easy cartridge removal even in tight equipment pads and indoor installations — no need to move the filter or disconnect plumbing to access the elements.
SwimClear™ Cartridge
No backwashing. Rinse cartridges 1–2x per season. Keeps all chemicals and heat in the pool. D.E.-like clarity. Lowest ongoing water waste.
Sand Filter

D.E. Filter
