Filter Type Quad-Cluster cartridge elements Filter Tank Injection-molded glass reinforced co-polymer Filter Elements Reinforced Polyester Dimensions 23” W x 40 ½” H Model Number W3C4030 Effective Filtration Area 425 sq ft2 / 39.5 m2 Design Flow Rate 150 GPM / 568 LPM Turnover 8 Hours – 72,000 Gal / 10 Hours – 90,000 Gal
The SwimClear C4030 offers: Superior water clarity (filters finer particles than sand filters) Lower water usage (no backwashing required) Lower operating pressure Easy top-access design for quick cartridge removal Durable, corrosion-resistant tank construction It delivers excellent filtration performance with minimal maintenance.
The C4030 uses four CX875RE replacement cartridge elements or four Unicel C-8750 replacement cartridges (425 sq. ft. total)
Under normal conditions, the C4030 cartridges typically require cleaning once or twice per season. Actual cleaning frequency depends on pool size, bather load, debris levels, and environmental conditions. The large filtration area helps extend time between cleanings compared to smaller cartridge filters.
The Hayward SwimClear C4030 (425 sq. ft.) is ideal for in-ground pools up to approximately 40,000–50,000 gallons (151,000–189,000 liters), depending on pump size and turnover requirements. Its large 425 square feet of filtration area allows for excellent water clarity while maintaining strong flow rates for medium to large residential pools.
