Hayward DEX2420DC Filter Element Cluster Assembly Replacement for Select Hayward Filters

It so worth the money

I purchased this to replace my older more worn one. The one I received was smaller then my original one. It had a booster at the bottom so it would fit and works just fine, it is just the filters are smaller then the old one even though it is the same model number.

After extensive research and price comparisons, I was able to get the filter element at a reasonable price from Amazon. Even with shipping it was relatively reasonable when compared to others. Originally I had order the wrong filter and I was able to return it without ANY hassle. I received a UPS shipping label through email, attached it and they scheduled pick up at my door without any extra charges. Glad I used Amazon for my purchase.

I purchased this item based on the pictorial representation instead of spending one more moment to verify the model number on my filter. The picture shows an element cluster for 60 sq. ft. filter, not the 20 square foot filter that I actually received. It still fits, but I lost a bunch of filtering capacity.

The assembly fit well and seems to be working okay. However, the grids are much shorter than the original filter grids. Not sure how much this will impact backwashing frequency.

I measured my filter element to make certain it matched my current filter element, and everything matched perfectly to the description as posted. The picture also matches my filter element. I was shocked when I opened the box!! I now have to go to the pool store and pick up the filter that I actually can use, which I should have done three days ago. I wish I could post the picture of what I received, ridiculous and deceptive as far as I am concerned....very disappointed!

Buying the complete cartridge made the replacement quick and easy.

fits well and filters well so far
