Product details

Hayward CX250Z2S is the tie rod for the Star-Clear cartridge filter, model C250. It is the genuine Hayward part.

What it does

The tie rod passes down the center of the filter and pulls the internal plates together so the cartridge element is held square and sealed. If the rod is bent, badly corroded or stripped where the nut lands, the element can shift under pressure and dirty water slips past it instead of going through the media.

Before you order

The Star Clear family shares a parts page across the C-250, C-500, C-750 and C-1000, and each tank takes its own rod length. CX250Z2S is the C250 part. Read the model off the label on the tank rather than guessing from its size.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which filter is this for?
The Hayward Star-Clear C250. It appears on the Star Clear parts breakdown that covers the C-250, C-500, C-750 and C-1000, and CX250Z2S is the C250 rod.
Will it fit my C500 or C750?
No. The tie rod is sized to the tank, so the larger Star-Clear models take their own part numbers.
Is it a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. It is the Hayward OEM tie rod, part number CX250Z2S.
What does the tie rod actually do?
It runs through the middle of the filter and holds the cartridge element stack clamped between the plates so water is forced through the media instead of past it.
