Built to OEM dimensions for Hayward Star-Clear II C1100 and CX1100RE cartridge filter systems, this replacement matches the original cartridge geometry, end-cap style, and media surface area — without the OEM markup. It directly replaces aftermarket Pleatco PA100, Unicel C-8610, and Filbur FC-1290 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-805 replacement cartridge is engineered for Hayward and built for dependable day-to-day filtration performance. Each cartridge is sized at 8 1/2" diameter x 23 5/16" length, with Open End top and Open End bottom end caps for direct-fit installation with no housing modifications.
Measure your old cartridge cap to cap, then across the widest pleat.
