Hayward CX1200B Filter Head – StarClear Plus C1200 Series

The Hayward CX1200B is a replacement filter head assembly designed for the StarClear Plus C1200 cartridge filter line. It includes the head body and a directional vent valve for efficient air release and optimal filtration performance.

Key Features

  • OEM replacement filter head for compatible C1200 cartridge filters.
  • Directional vent valve included to purge trapped air and maintain system efficiency.
  • Durable construction engineered to fit and perform reliably with the original filter body.

Technical Specifications

  • Part Number: CX1200B
  • Compatible Filter Series: StarClear Plus C1200 / C12002 by Hayward
  • Application: Replacement filter head assembly for in-ground pool cartridge filters

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Before installation, turn off the pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the existing head assembly from the filter tank, clean the mounting surfaces and drain port threads. Install the new CX1200B head, ensuring O-rings are properly seated and the vent valve is functioning. Reassemble the filter, restore circulation, and check for any leaks around the head, drain port or vent valve.

Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect the head annually—look for cracks, worn threads or leaking around the vent valve.
  • If you notice slow drainage at the head, air trapped in the system, or visible damage, replacing the head with CX1200B restores functionality.
  • Keep this part in your inventory for quick service calls and replacement stock to minimize downtime.

Why Choose This Filter Head?

For pool service professionals, equipment retailers or proactive homeowners, the CX1200B offers a direct-fit, OEM-matched replacement filter head. It helps maintain clear water, optimized circulation and easy servicing of the cartridge filtration system.
