Q: This might sound strange, but has the unit been certified to NSF/ANSI 61 standards?

A:
Hi, the StarClear filters are not certified to NSF standards, but the SwimClear single element cartridge filters are. The C150S would be a close size for the C12002

Q: what is the life of a hayward120 Sq.Ft. Star-Clear Plus Filter? When should I replace the entire unit? I have a repair that looks like it will cost $470. The unit is old. I am questioning when to replace the unit.

A:
Hi, that is a somewhat subjective question, but with a repair that is going to cost more than half the price of a new filter it would seem the best bet to replace the filter at this point.
