Hayward SwimClear Cartridge Filter Lid Lock Ring Latch, CXLRL1001

Hayward CXLRL1001 is the lid lock ring latch for the SwimClear cartridge filter. It is the genuine Hayward part, and it is the piece that pulls the lock ring closed around the filter lid.

What it does

The SwimClear lid is held on by a lock ring, and the latch is what draws that ring tight and holds it. All of the clamping load goes through the latch, and it gets worked every time the filter is opened for a cartridge clean, which is why the latch is usually the part that cracks or loses tension long before the ring or the lid does. A filter must not be pressurized with the ring unlatched or only partly latched.

Check your model number

Our source records disagree about which SwimClear this belongs to. The product description names the C100S, C150S and C200S. The same part is also filed under the C200SC and C225SC. Both readings are worth checking against the model on your own filter label before you order.
