Rather than pay $80 for our pool cleaner to replace the dirty
cartridge filter in the Hayward Star Clear II filtration system, I
decided to remove, clean and replace it myself.

I created a quick guide to help out other owners of the Hayward Star
Clear II or other similar pool pump systems from different
manufacturers. No tools are needed except for a garden hose. The whole
process only took about 30 minutes.

Here's the guide - http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/H...leaning-Guide/

I hope someone finds it to be useful and saves some money. The
cleaned filter looks practically brand new, and should be able to last
a few more years with regular cleaning.

Cheers,
Paul
