Hayward SwimClear 425 Sq Ft Cartridge Filter System | C4030
The Hayward SwimClear 425 Sq Ft Cartridge Filter | C4030 delivers high-capacity filtration and exceptional water clarity for pools and spas of all sizes. Built with Hayward’s advanced multi-element design, this filter captures more debris without requiring supplemental media or backwashing. Featuring four durable, reusable cartridges, the C4030 provides 425 square feet of total filtration area, maximizing dirt-holding capacity and extending cleaning intervals—often allowing an entire season between cleanings. Its low head loss design reduces energy consumption, helping pool systems run more efficiently while maintaining superior water flow and consistent clarity.
Constructed from heavy-duty, glass-reinforced co-polymer, the SwimClear C4030 filter is engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in even the most demanding pool environments. Maintenance is simplified by a rapid-release manual air relief valve, a self-aligning top and bottom tank design, and a tamper-proof one-piece clamp that allows full internal access without disturbing plumbing. The top manifold configuration improves hydraulic performance and ensures even water distribution across all Quad-Cluster™ cartridge elements. With its combination of efficiency, durability, and service-friendly design, the C4030 stands as one of Hayward’s most trusted filtration systems for residential and commercial pools alike.
