It arrives as four elements, which is what the C2030 holds, so one order restores the whole filter rather than half of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the cartridges do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery drop of water leaving the pump passes through these pleats. Hayward lists 225 sq ft of filter area per cartridge, and that surface is what lets the filter hold dirt, oils and fine debris for weeks between cleanings. As the media breaks down the pleats stop sealing against the tank and dirt starts going back to the pool, which usually shows up as cloudy water that will not clear no matter how much sanitizer goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit and installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach element measures 17-3\/8\" high by 7\" wide, the exact size the C2030 tank is built around, so they drop straight in with no trimming or adapters. Replacing all four together keeps the flow even across the set and avoids a mismatched stack where one old cartridge does most of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy OEM matters here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCartridge dimensions and end cap fit are tight in the SwimClear line. Hayward built these to its own tolerances, so they seal properly and there is no argument about non OEM parts if a warranty question ever comes up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48625848189140,"sku":"HAY-051-9891","price":244.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8c9df4c2-0b6d-4bf4-91cc-d6ff61b411af.jpg?v=1788701533","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/hayward-cx481xrepak4-replacement-filter-cartridge-element-for-hayward-swimclear-filters","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
