I have had bad experiences, even here on Amazon, buying what is supposed to be an authentic -- and more expensive -- Hayward OEM cartridge that doesn't turn out to be authentic. I couple of years ago I bought one that even came in a Hayward box, had Hayward wrapping and the labeling on the filter itself also all said "Hayward". However, when I unwrapped it and looked at it closely I noticed that some of the finishing details were "off". Such as small pieces of plastic that weren't completely trimmed off the end caps. Also, some of the filter pleats were wrapped unevenly. Also the inside rings that provide strength looked different than what I had seen before. I used that filter and sure enough, after a few months it stopped cleaning as well.
Talking about this one from this vendor: It truly looks like a genuine Hayward filter. And for the price I expect it to last as long as on OEM filter. Every detail on it is perfect. The pleats are well-spaced and uniform. There are no extraneous pieces of plastic that haven't been properly trimmed. Etc. Maybe some of those people who say it's not genuine somehow ended up with a bootleg version for some reason -- intentional or not, no way to tell -- but at least in my case I seem to have received a genuine filter that should last. And so far it's working fine.
PREVIOUS REVIEW
I did a lot of research and determined that I should replace my current Hayward filter with another one by Hayward and not a cheap knock off. My last one held up quite a long time and I was actually quite impressed. In fact, it lasted well over the regular shelf life that my local pool store guy told me that it would. So, I purchased another one on Amazon on March 8, 2016 (cheaper than my pool store guy was going to sell it to me for). I think I installed it about 1 week later. The filter looked the same as the old one and fit perfectly. I had no issues until today. When I went to clean it on my normal schedule, I noticed that two of the bands that are wrapped around it have come apart! The bands on my last filter didn't even come apart until right before I decided to replace it. Now, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that these bands serve a purpose or they wouldn't be there in the first place. Hopefully, it will still work for the next year or so because I'm not spending another hundred-plus bucks on another one this season. Needless to say, it's very frustrating. Worst part about it is I'm past my return date since I bought it on Amazon and now I'm stuck with it.
The main purpose of this review is to educate you on the CRITICAL difference in the filter pretenders world of make-believe pool filters.
Over the years, I’ve purchased other filters from suppliers, some of which were OK. They worked acceptably well and did last a few years. The price of these filters was apx $70 - $75.
About 1 year ago, I bought one from an Amazon supplier that advertises an “ALL AMERICAN Replacement Cartridge” filter for apx $70 as I remember. You can look them up. The filter is NOT made in America other than the “label” is attached here.
Here’s three items that are immediately obvious;
1) There are less filter “elements” compared to a “real” Hayward CX1750RE Filter Cartridge
2) There are FIVE bands around a C1750RE filter element; this one has THREE.
3) The opening is stated to be 4” but a “real” Hayward Filter Cartridge opening is slightly less than 4”.
The first two items will be ignored in favor of explaining number 3).
The filter’s opening is key and you can test to see if it’s OK BEFORE you use it. If it fails the measurement, I would recommend that you return it ASAP b/c it won’t work properly. I used a micrometer to accurately measure the opening.
The “real” Hayward filter is specified to have a 4 inch opening at the TOP and BOTTOM of the filter. However, the opening is SLIGHTLY smaller than that so that the PROPER SEAL CAN BE OBTAINED WHEN THE FILTER IS SEATED INTO THE MAIN FILTER BODY. This dimension is critical!
The Hayward filter’s opening is 3.984 inches and there’s a LIP that is added to the Hayward Filter which creates that dimension. It is the EXTRA 0.016 inch that ensures a proper seal.
The “ALL AMERICAN” filter, for example, measured opening was 4.005 inches. You might, incorrectly say, that it’s only 0.005 inches bigger than the “spec” so what’s wrong with that??? Answer. . . everything! It won’t seal properly. That’s why you pool doesn’t clear up after running your filter or takes LONGER to clear.
To install the Hayward filter, a slight “push” on the top is required to seat the filter over the internal main body plenum. Ran the pool for 4 hours and it is filtering as it should.
Hope that this helps you determine whether the filter will work in your Hayward 175 Sq Ft Pool Filter System.
Update: 10/19/18 - I cleaned the filter today after apx 19 months of use before the high back pressure dictated cleaning. Yes, it was LOADED w/ dirt but cleaned up and is now back into the Hayward Pool Filter ready for another year+ of pool filtering.
