Swimara Pro Series Pool Filter Cartridge – 3oz Trilobal Media, 150 Sq Ft Replacement for Hayward CCX1500RE

Swimara Pro Series Pool Filter Cartridge — Precision, Reliability, and Clearer Water

Meet the Swimara Pro Series Pool Filter Cartridge, engineered to optimize filtration for both in-ground and above-ground pools. This version uses a 3 oz trilobal media that sits between our Essential and Ultra lines, delivering a robust blend of surface area, flow, and value. When paired with compatible Hayward and Waterway systems, it provides a dependable replacement that installs quickly and maintains a leak-free seal with minimal fuss.

The cartridge is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for Hayward X-Stream CC1500 (CCX1500RE), CX1520RE, and related 150 sq ft models. A precise seating surface and matched dimensions help ensure a secure fit and consistent performance once the filter tank is opened, so you can focus on your pool routine rather than tool alignment.

Advanced Trilobal Media for Efficient Filtration

The 3 oz Trilobal media uses triangular fibers that offer significantly more surface area than standard round fibers. This configuration helps capture finer debris (around 10 microns) while preserving strong water flow. The result is a reliable filtration bridge between mid-tier and premium media, supporting clearer water and steady circulation across longer cycles.

Structural Integrity for Consistent Performance

The media’s rigid Trilobal fibers maintain their triangular shape with a reinforced core. This anti-collapse design keeps pleats open, reduces bunching, and makes rinsing easier by up to about half. The outcome is stable filtration under pressure and a longer service life for the cartridge, so you can invest less time in maintenance and more time enjoying your pool.
