Why it matters
The Hayward W3C12002 Pool Filter Cartridge is a replacement pool filter cartridge.
Match the part number on your old cartridge or filter housing first; if it has worn off, measure length, outside diameter and both center holes. A cartridge that is close but not exact can let dirty water bypass its seals.
The listing gives dimensions of 13.8 x 13.8 x 37.7 inches and a weight of 30 pounds.
