Measuring your old cartridge

  • Length — cap to cap, with both end caps included.
  • Diameter — across the widest point of the pleats, not the end cap.
  • End caps — whether each end is open or closed, and the size of any opening.

A variance of ⅛" is normal. Anything larger usually means a different housing model — check the number printed on your old cartridge against the compatible parts list before ordering.

Questions

Fit, replacement & ordering

Still unsure after reading these? Send us the number stamped on your old cartridge and we will confirm the fit.

What part numbers does the XLS-822 replace?

The Excel Filters XLS-822 replaces Hayward CX1520RE and CCX1500RE. Aftermarket equivalents: Pleatco PWWCT150 and PJANCS150, Unicel C-8414, and Filbur FC-1287.

Which filter systems does the XLS-822 fit?

It fits the Hayward StarClear Plus C1502, Hayward XStream CC1500, Jandy CS150, Waterway ClearWater II 150 and Waterway ProClean 150. If your housing is not listed, match the part number stamped on your current cartridge on our cross-reference chart.

What are the dimensions of the XLS-822 cartridge?

8 15/16" diameter, 23 5/16" long, 151 ft² of media (end caps — top: 4" ID w/ Molded Gasket, bottom: 4" ID w/ Molded Gasket). Matching measurements alone do not prove a fit: some of our cartridges share a size and differ in filtration area or end caps, so check the part number on your old cartridge too.

Is this a genuine Hayward part?

No. The XLS-822 is an independently manufactured replacement cartridge, made in the USA by Excel Filters and built to match the Hayward CX1520RE specification. Hayward is a trademark of its owner, used only to show compatibility.

How often should the XLS-822 be replaced?

Most pool and spa cartridges last 1–2 seasons with regular rinsing. Replace it when cleaning no longer restores flow, the pleats fray, or the end caps crack.
