I can only speak about the filter I received. It was a genuine Haward and well worth the money. Fits better than the knock-offs and is of better quality than my previous non-Hayward filter. Has worked like a charm. The filter was shipped in a box appropriate in size and had no damage. Review: Find out why the "pretenders" don't work . . . - I haven't purchased a “real” Hayward CX1750RE filter since my first one was replaced some 30+ years ago!! So to say that I’ve purchased some “pretenders” would be valid. 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 desertcart 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. ## Features - Fits Hayward C900 Filter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #17,245 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #253 in Pool & Spa Replacement Parts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,966 Reviews | ## Images ![Hayward CX900RE Pool Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oS07Rm2JL.jpg) ![Hayward CX900RE Pool Filter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51N78otOVkL.jpg) ![Hayward CX900RE Pool Filter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61t8uqjcMmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style Name** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mine is an Original Hayward *by R***T on August 2, 2025* I see a lot of reviews claiming this is not an original.
