Description

Pleatco replacement swimming pool/spa pool filter cartridge #PA120 replaces Unicel C-8412, Filbur FC-1293, and Hayward C-1200 swimming pool/spa filter cartridges. Pleatco premium filter cartridges employ Free Flow Cores, specifically engineered to allow for the even flow of water through the entire cartridge which increases filtration (best efficiency), uses greater media surface to inhibit the growth of bacteria mold & algae (best water quality), and makes it easier for the pump to pull more water through the cartridge (less wear & tear and expense).

3This is NOT a Toy  Jul 21, 2010 By Mr. Allnut "Charlie"
You have to review this filter as a toy, but of course it is not. I bought this instead of the standard Hayward filter sold at Pitch a Penny. Works great, is made solid, delivered to the door and I saved 30 bucks. How can you beat that?

I am changing my review for this item to 3 stars. The first filter only lasted 1 year. I am going to purchase again and give it one more chance. I want to make sure it was nothing I did to reduce the life. I have attempted to clean this filter per manufacturers instructions. After it is cleaned it will give service for a few days and then plug right up. A sign of a dead cartridge.

The OE equipment cartridge for this filter is $100.00. However, the original cartridge gave 4 years of service. That is only $25.00 a year.

You'll get an update next year!

Almost a year to the date and the filter medium is becoming clogged and unwashable. I have followed all instructions to the letter on how to restore these things when they become less porous. I think we have to face the fact, that at this price, you can plan on getting a year out of a filter. Take note. I am in Florida and the pool runs year round, so that's a year of continuous use.

When I purchased and installed this Hayward filter I got almost 4 years out of the OEM cartridge. As of this writing, the Hayward OEM is available on Amazon for 77.37. I think this time I will flip for the extra change and see if the quality is really is better.

5This filter works...  Aug 02, 2010 By windest
I was a bit reticent to purchase this filter but one of the great things about Amazon is the return policy so I purchased the filter. This is a replacement filter for the Hayward C1200 which costs $99 at the local pool store; when on sale it can be had for $89 so $56 was a bargain. The filter works just like the C1200. It looks like it will hold up for a year like the C1200. Time will tell. There is a difference in the structure - there are no cross braces in the interior of the filter as there are in the C1200 otherwise this filter works well so far.

2Disappointing  Jul 04, 2011 By M.E.B
I am wondering what I missed here. The reviews that are here are great but the product is not. I purchased this product and the first couple of weeks it ran great after that it will barely pull any water through it. I've tried to clean it with the filter cleaner from our local pool store and it didn't make a difference. I have to clean it daily and it still hasn't made a difference. I've even resorted to putting the old filter back in because it circulates the water better with more pressure. Thank goodness we did not throw it out. I will not be purchasing this filter again. It would be in my best interest to pay the extra $30 for the other one. :-(


5Filer works great  Mar 23, 2012 By Jason Jimenez "jay jimenez"
I read some of the bad reviews first and started to second guess buying this for my filter. When I got the new filter my gauge was running at 30 psi and I was power washing it every other day. Once I replaced the filter, the gauge was showing 6 psi.

This filter is "Sweet" my pool now looks Cristal clear with no more junk in it.

I ran it for 24 hours and it's till running at 6 psi..

I would buy it again and again and again..


4Quality product.  Jan 11, 2012 By Heywood Jablomey "guitarist"
I was hesitant to try another brand, but the difference in price compelled me to do so. The Hayward filters cost considerably more, but I have not noticed a difference in quality thus far. I've been using this filter for about 1 year now.
