The 700 sq. ft. model offers: Extended cleaning cycles due to oversized filtration area Excellent water clarity (filters finer particles than sand filters) Lower operating pressure and improved flow efficiency Water savings (no backwashing required) Easy top-access design for fast cartridge removal Durable, corrosion-resistant tank construction It is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for maximum filtration performance with minimal maintenance.
This filter uses four 175 sq. ft. cartridges (700 sq. ft. total). OEM Hayward Replacement: CX1750RE (four required) Unicel Equivalent: C-8417 (four required) Both options are fully compatible with the 700 sq. ft. SwimClear filter housing.
No. The Hayward SwimClear 700 is a cartridge filter, meaning it does not require backwashing like sand or DE filters. This helps conserve water and eliminates the need for a backwash line. Cleaning is done by removing and cleaning the cartridge elements.
Due to its large filtration capacity, most pools only require cartridge cleaning once per season under normal operating conditions. Heavy debris loads, high bather use, or environmental factors may increase cleaning frequency. The larger surface area significantly extends time between maintenance compared to smaller filters.
The Hayward 700 sq. ft. SwimClear cartridge filter is ideal for large in-ground pools up to approximately 60,000–75,000 gallons (227,000–284,000 liters), depending on pump size and turnover requirements. Its oversized 700 square feet of filtration area allows for excellent water clarity and longer run times between cleanings.
