Price
The biggest difference between these two replacement cartridges can be largely attributed to the price point. Both cartridges provide high-quality, durable filtration capabilities, but the Pureline cartridge is available at nearly half the price of its original manufacturer alternative. All of Pureline’s aftermarket products are widely praised for their high-quality design at an affordable price point, and this cartridge is a great example of that.
For even more savings, we also offer a convenient, value 2-pack! The two-pack not only allows for more savings compared to a one-cartridge purchase, but it also allows pool owners to always have a spare cartridge on hand, making routine maintenance and replacements worry-free.

The PL0167 was built to match the exact dimensions of the Hayward cartridge, ensuring a perfect fit for the Hayward CX200XRE, Hayward CX200XRE filter cartridge, and compatible models in the C200S cartridge filter and Hayward CS200E filter lines.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Cartridge
On average, it is recommended that you replace your cartridge every 6-12 months for single-cartridge systems, or every 3 years for multi-cartridge systems given normal water conditions and usage. Adhering to this schedule can prevent strain on your pump, reduce energy consumption, and maintain consistently clean pool water. You will know it is time to replace your cartridge if the pool water appears cloudy or dull, the filter pressure readings are higher than normal, or the return flow from the pool jets is weak.

Don’t just take our word for it; this beloved cartridge has a 5-star rating from our customers. In their review, one customer said:
“I can’t believe this new after market cartridge filter is actually better then the original that came with my Hayward filter. Was having trouble keeping my pool clean but as soon as put this filter in, it took only two days to get my water crystal clear which is something I couldn’t get with the original when it was band new. I’m so happy cause was thinking of replacing the whole filtration system.”
