Product Overview

The Hayward SX180DA Sand Filter Lateral Assembly with Center Pipe is a critical internal component responsible for balanced water flow and effective filtration within a sand filter system. The lateral assembly sits at the bottom of the filter tank and works with the center pipe to collect filtered water while preventing sand media from entering the return lines. Damage or wear to the laterals can result in poor filtration performance or sand returning to the pool.

Replacing the lateral assembly helps restore proper internal operation, improving water clarity and system efficiency. Designed for compatibility with specific sand filter models, the SX180DA is commonly used during major filter rebuilds or when internal components show signs of failure. It is a practical replacement solution for maintaining dependable filtration performance in residential pool systems.
