Hayward SX244DA Lateral Assembly with Center Pipe Replacement for Select Hayward Automatic Skimmers and Sand Filter

Improved my filter performance

EASY TO INSTALL!!!

I usually replace the lateral assembly when I replace the sand in my pool filter. The first time I replaced the sand, the lateral assembly was broken, so I replace it just to be safe. I don't want a failure to occur after I replace the sand. This assembly is identical to the original and fits just fine.

Just installed. Identical to the original, but the center pipe seems more robust.Did not come with the cardboard centering jig. I had to make my own. That takes a star away. Basically, I took a slightly smaller tube, wrapped it with masking tape at a couple of points, slid it into the center pipe, and left about 6 inches of the tube I inserted above the rim of the filter. Then I centered it with a tape measure and secured it with a notched out piece of cardboard and some duct tape. It worked well.ALSO, fill the filter half way with water (as others have said) before dumping the sand in, and check the centering. The worst thing you can do is stress that center pipe too much. My old one snapped right off, so careful with your new one. Here's hoping for no more sand in the pool.

easy installation

I replaced the sand in my filter this year. Before I did, I order this because I knew I had at least one broke lateral (sand in the pool). I didn't know how extensive the damage was and a whole new assembly is relatively cheap. Plus, unlike my existing laterals, these fold up like an umbrella, making it easy to get in and out of the filter. It fit perfectly in my S220T Hayward and is of very good quality. The replacement went without a hitch.

proper fit. WORKING GREAT

Product is a exact fit for my filter. Received on date promised. Works great. Great price.

It was easy to install (after watching a tutorial) and works as new. The old one lasted 20 years, so hopefully this one will too. Hayward is a good brand.

Name brand part. My pool store was coming to replace the sand and I expected a crack in this part since we had sand going into our pool, which was the case. Filters good as new. Fast shipping.

Product was exactly as advertised and the delivery time was ahead of schedule Bravo !

I only installed it a week ago. But it arrived in one piece, was not hard to install, and seems to be working fine..

It fit into my filter perfectly and has been working well in my filter. It was a good replacement fit.
