Filbur PC1290 100 Sq Ft Pool Filter Cartridge
Drop-in replacement for Hayward C-1100.
The Filbur PC1290 (MPN FC-1290, SKU PST-PC1290) is a 100 square foot replacement filter cartridge built to drop straight into the Hayward Star-Clear Plus C-1100 filter housing. It crosses to Unicel C-8610, Pleatco PA100, and Hayward OEM CX1100RE, so you can match it by any number stamped on your old element. At 8-1/2 inches around and 23-3/8 inches tall with 4-inch open ends, it seats on the same standpipe and gives your pool the full filtration area the system was engineered for.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Exact Hayward Fit
Matches the Hayward Star-Clear Plus C-1100 housing one-for-one. Same diameter, length, and 4-inch open end caps, so it slides onto the standpipe with no adapters.
Free Flow Core
The open free-flow core keeps water moving through every pleat, holding pressure low and flow high so your pump works less and your pool turns over faster.
Full 100 Sq Ft Surface
Deep-cut pleats pack a full 100 square feet of filtration media into the housing, trapping fine dirt, oils, and debris while stretching the time between cleanings.
4 oz Reinforced Media
Heavy 4 oz spun-bonded polyester resists chemical wear and pool chemistry season after season, holding its pleat shape instead of collapsing under load.
Molded Gasket Ends
Both end caps are molded with a built-in gasket for a tight seal against the filter tank, keeping unfiltered water from bypassing the cartridge.
Cross-Reference Match
Replaces Unicel C-8610, Pleatco PA100, Hayward CX1100RE, and PacFab 19905. Match it by whatever number is printed on your current cartridge.
Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Which filter does the PC1290 fit?
It is a direct replacement element for the Hayward Star-Clear Plus C-1100 cartridge filter, which uses the Hayward OEM cartridge CX1100RE. If your tank holds a single 100 sq ft cartridge that is roughly 8-1/2 inches around and 23-3/8 inches tall, this is the one.
What part numbers does this cross-reference?
The PC1290 replaces Unicel C-8610, Pleatco PA100, Hayward CX1100RE and C-1100, and PacFab/Pentair 19905. Any of those numbers on your old cartridge confirms the match.
How big is the cartridge?
The cartridge measures 8-1/2 inches in outer diameter and 23-3/8 inches long, with 4-inch open end caps on both ends and a molded gasket seal. It carries a full 100 square feet of media.
How often should I replace it?
Most cartridges last one to three seasons depending on bather load and water chemistry. Rinse it when the filter gauge climbs 8 to 10 PSI above its clean starting pressure, and replace it once the pleats no longer come clean or the media frays.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. Power off the pump, relieve pressure with the air bleed, open the tank, lift out the old element, drop the PC1290 onto the standpipe, then reassemble and restart. No tools beyond a clamp wrench are typically needed.

Let customers speak for us
Loved how fast it got here. It has small wiring and I was glad it was in a protective envelope and it arrived without breaking.
just as listed. well packeged, fast ahip, works fine. purchased to remedy issue with heater and ozone injectorboth operating together. might have been able to just bend old switch a bit but did not try that.
Great customer service and knowledge of product. Asked of compatibility and they had the answer. My intouch2 was not working so I researched new intouch3 from Spa Dealer and they wanted $75 just to come out, then $125 for up to an hr...just to confirm what I already knew. Contacted PST and they had the product and confirmed compatibility. Saved me some $$.Thanks PST.
