Product Description
Ensure optimal water clarity in your pool with the Filbur FC-1293-F Replacement Pool Filter Cartridge (UPC: 645544012937). This high-performance 120 sq. ft. filter is a premium, direct replacement for the Hayward Star-Clear Plus C1200 (CX1200RE) and Sta-Rite Posi-Clear PXC-125 filtration systems. Engineered with genuine Reemay® spunbond polyester media and robust construction, the FC-1293-F is built for long-lasting, reliable performance.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Superior Filtration Fabric: Utilizes high-quality, 4 oz. Reemay® media with deep pleats to maximize surface area and effectively capture fine dirt, debris, and contaminants.
- Antimicrobial End Caps: Features reinforced, antimicrobial end caps that resist chemical degradation and inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold.
- Advanced Structural Core: Constructed with a heavy-duty PVC center core that prevents cartridge collapse under high-pressure conditions and ensures consistent water flow.
- Break-Resistant Bands: Includes strong, external support bands that maintain even pleat spacing for optimal flow rates and easier cleaning cycles.
- Precision OEM Replacement: Designed to match OEM specifications for a seamless, leak-free installation in your existing filter housing.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- Pressure Hazard: Always turn off the pool pump and bleed all air pressure via the relief valve before opening the filter tank. Failure to do so can cause severe injury.
- Dimensions Check: Verify the 19-5/8" length; this filter is specific to the C1000 model and will not fit the C900 (FC-1292) or C1200 (FC-1294) models correctly.
- Chemical Handling: Do not place concentrated chlorine tablets directly into the filter core; it will rapidly degrade the media and end caps.
- Non-Backwashable: This is a cartridge filter and must be cleaned manually with water and filter cleaner solution, not by backwashing.
Pro Tips
- Antimicrobial Benefit: The "F" designation and antimicrobial end caps help resist bacterial and mold growth, which is a major benefit in warm pool water.
- Cleaning Schedule: Clean when the pressure gauge reads 8-10 PSI above the initial "clean" reading. For best results, use a dedicated [cartridge cleaner](https://www.amazon.com) and rinse thoroughly.
- Rotation Strategy: Purchase two cartridges and rotate them seasonally. This allows one to dry completely between uses, improving filtration efficiency and extending overall filter life.
