Your home pool or spa is supposed to swaddle you in total comfort. However, it’s hard to get into zen-mode when the filter doesn’t keep your personal paradise crystal-clear. That’s why it’s important to swap out your filter’s cartridge when it needs to be changed. The Unicel Replacement Filter Cartridge is the ultimate tool to take its place.

This cartridge is designed to replace the one that comes with your Hayward CX1280RE Filter. When you find yourself having to clean your filter too often, when the water flow rate goes down or the pressure gets too high, or if you can see that the filter is actually broken, those are all signs it’s time to swap it out.

Once your replacement cartridge is fully installed, it should work with the filter to keep your pool or spa clear and debris-free, just the way you like it. Expect high performance. This filter cartridge is made of heavy-duty polyester, designed to last a lot longer than others. It’s also fitted with more pleats so it can take on even more filtering, increasing the time between necessary cleanings.

The Unicel Replacement Filter Cartridge features tough urethane end-caps that hold up to constant use with an 131-square-foot pool or spa. Unicel filters are made in the USA for the highest possible quality.

When your filter has had its fill, cleaning this replacement cartridge is no trouble at all. Keeping it nice and tidy will prolong its life even more and will help your pool or spa sparkle too. After a bath, the cartridge goes back in the filter and you can start soaking again as soon as you want.

A home pool or spa should be a place to unwind, not another hassle you have to keep in mind. The Unicel Replacement Filter Cartridge takes care of the work so you can get back to your happy place.

Please read the information below so you fully understand the delivery process and requirements.

Required Actions

We will need your phone number for the delivery. The carrier will need to call you in order to set up a delivery time. Please make sure the number you provide during checkout is the best one to reach you. If paying with PayPal, please make sure the number on your account is accurate.

You'll need to inspect your package upon arrival before you sign. If your order arrives damaged, you should sign "DAMAGED" on the delivery receipt. If the item is damaged to the point that it is not usable, you can refuse the item.

Please notify and, if possible, send photos of any damage to vminnovations_help@email.spreetail.com, along with your order number. A member of our Customer Experience team will reach out to you with further instructions.
