The filter I had before needed to be backwashed. How do I backwash this Hayward C1200 or C12002?
Reply
This filter model type is a cartridge filter and does not actually need to be "backwashed". The filter cartridge element inside must removed on a regular basis which is on average about every month, rinsed down with a water hose and pressure nozzle of some sort and then put back into place.

Are there specs on how many microns this filter is rated at? Is there available another filter that won't allow finer particles to pass through?
Reply
As a rule, sand filters sift particles ranging from 20 to 40 microns in size. Cartridge filters can sift particles as small as 10 to 20 microns in size. DE filters can sift contaminants as small as 1 to 3 microns in size. This makes DE filtration at least five to six times more efficient than sand filtration systems.

If you're talking about the PVC fittings that's used for this filter, it's a standard 2" male fitting which can be found at any hardware or plumbing supply store.

Hi Jose, The Star Clear Plus 120 Sq Ft. Filter 2" Ports would be a suitable replacement if you have 2" pipes, if you current have 1-1/2" pipe you will need the Star Clear Plus 120 Sq Ft. Filter 1-1/2" Ports.

I have an old Pentair 36 sq/ft fns DE filter and would like to replace it with a cartridge filter. Can you give me a couple options to replace it with?
Thanks

Hi Jason, Switch from a DE to a cartridge unit I will recommend going to quad cartridge filter versus a single cartridge filter. The Pentair CCP320 or Hayward SwimClear C3030 are the recommended models.

My pool is almost 10,000 gallons, I'm replacing the pump with a VS pump and a new cartridge filter and space is not a problem. The Hayward C1202 is probably everything I need but what is the difference between the Hayward C150S and C17502 other then they look different. And if I decided to go with a quad filter which one would you recommend. It doesn't have to be a Hayward brand.
thanks

I have an 22000gal pool with a Pentair 3hp variable speed pump, and am replacing an old Sta-Rite 100gpm filter system. Do the C1200 and C12002 seem like good replacements? What is the difference between the two.
Reply
Either one of these would be a great option to replace your current filter. The difference between the two is the C1200 has 1.5" intake and output ports, while the c12002 has 2" intake and output ports.

I have a 15,000 in ground pool with a Hayward Tristar SP3210x15 1.5 hp pump. Can I use the c1200 and use a reducer from 2" pipe to 1.5" into the filter? i didn't know if the small reduction into the filter would cause a problem. Thank you!

Hi, John. to confirm if this filter is suitable for your pool we will need to know the flow rate of the pump. You can calculate the flow rate of your pump by following the steps in how How To: Size a Pool Pump guide.

I have a 12,000 gallon pool with a 1 hp pump, currently has a sand filter. We are looking to change to a cartridge filter. What do you recommend?

Hi Jdt, This Hayward C12002 would be the cartridge filter I suggest for your size pool.

I have a Hayward Star Clear Plus C12002S. Purchased in 2011. Since last year, I have not been able to use a "cleaned" filter - it must be new before it will activate (run) the Zodiac sweep. Have installed a new filter, but sweep will Not work. Do I need a new filter system??? If so, is there one larger than the C12002S?
Reply
Pat, I would recommend having the cleaner checked. Depending on the model, a jet or gear may be causing the issue. As for the filter, the next sizes up would be the C17502 (175 sq ft) and the C2002 (200 sq ft).

I currently have a Pentair CC150 Clean and Clear which is broken. The pool is 15K and I have a Pentair Intelliflow pump. Can I replace my broken filter with a Hayward C1202 even though I would be going from a 150 to a 120?
Reply
Hello, we do not recommend going down on filter size due to the fact that you can risk damaging your filter from increased pressure in your system.

I have had an old Hayward C1100 filter for 20 years that I need to replace. I have a pentair inteliflow variable speed pump in a 20k gallon pool. Would you please recommend a replacement cartridge filter? Will the c12002 be appropriate? Do you have any coupons for today?

Hi! I want to know what is the difference between MODEL # W3C12002 and Model # C12002 , please.

Hi Ruben, The W3C12002 and Model # C12002 are the exact same filter. The W3C12002 is the model # that is allowed to be sold on the Internet. If you purchase the W3C12002 on the Internet then it will come with the full manufacturer warranty and if you purchase the C12002 on the internet then it does not come with a manufacturers warranty.

Why would there be to models exactly the same, one with warranty and one without? Is the C12002 sold and warrantied by pool builders/installers? Trying to understand why there would be two models for the same unit?
Reply
Hi Mike, Yes the C12002 is sold by pool builders and brick and mortar retailers where the W3C12002 is the internet version, however the model is the exact same thing. Hayward set up this model to only allow for there product to be sold by Authorized Online Sellers which Inyo is one of, so if you purchase this filter from us you will get the full warranty.

I have 32x14 fiberglass inground insert that holds approximately 16000 gallons. I’m currently running a Hayward 2.70 VS pump with a Hayward DE3620 filter. I’m considering changing my filter because I’m tired of cleaning filter grids and dealing with DE. My local pool store advises to use a Hayward sand filter with glass media. I’m not a fan of sand filters due to the waste of backwashing. I’m thinking of use a cartridge filter. What would your recommendation be?

The Hayward Swimclear Cart. Filter 325 sqft - W3C3030 https://www.inyopools.com/Products/02201212000434.htm or the Crystal Water 325 sqft Pool Cartridge Filter - 570-0325-07 https://www.inyopools.com/Products/07203367087343.htm would be great replacement options to the Hayward Pro Grid DE Filter 36 Sq Ft w/o Valve - W3DE3620
