Fits & replaces
This Excel Filters cartridge (XLS-803) is a direct-fit replacement for Hayward StarClear Plus C1750 / C1900, CX1750RE, and CX1900RE filter systems, cross-referenced with OEM Hayward® C1750 and aftermarket Pleatco PA175, Unicel C-8417, and Filbur FC-1294. Confirm the part number on your current cartridge — or its diameter, length, and end caps — before ordering.
Built to OEM dimensions for Hayward StarClear Plus C1750 / C1900, CX1750RE, and CX1900RE cartridge filter systems, this replacement matches the original cartridge geometry, end-cap style, and media surface area — without the OEM markup. It directly replaces OEM Hayward® C1750 and aftermarket Pleatco PA175, Unicel C-8417, and Filbur FC-1294 part numbers — the full cross-reference list is in the Compatibility tab. Every cartridge is manufactured in our Austin, TX facility, ships free, and is backed by the Excel Filters Perfect Fit Guarantee on its listed cross-references.
The XLS-803 1PACK replacement cartridge is engineered for Hayward and built for dependable day-to-day filtration performance. Each cartridge is sized at 8 15/16" diameter x 28 3/16" length, with 4" ID w/ Gasket top and 4" ID w/ Gasket bottom end caps for direct-fit installation with no housing modifications.
Measure your old cartridge cap-to-cap. A variance of ⅛" is normal — anything larger likely means a different housing model.
