Hayward SwimClear Cartridge Pool Filters | W3C3030 | W3C4030 | W3C5030

The Hayward SwimClear Cartridge Pool Filter is a 4-cartridge filtration system used on inground pools. Capable of filtering particles as small as 30 microns, it removes everything visible to the human eye. Its glass-reinforced co-polymer high-strength tank, one-piece clamp, and 2″ black bulkhead unions enhance durability and ease of installation.

The one-piece clamp design allows easy removal and access to all four cartridges. Internal air bleeding prevents buildup, and the 1-1/2″ drain ensures full draining during winterization. SwimClear filters reduce maintenance and deliver better performance for longer. They use a cluster of four cartridges with heavy-duty dirt-holding capacity for extended filter cycles — potentially lasting an entire season without cleaning. The new and improved PermaGlass XL filter provides years of trouble-free operation and crystal-clear water.
