What customers say
This essential Hayward replacement part earns praise for its perfect fit and straightforward installation, quickly restoring the ability to monitor water clarity during backwashing. Users value this function for efficient pool maintenance and preventing water waste. However, the core sentiment is tempered by consistent concerns about long-term durability. Many report that the plastic material degrades, becoming brittle or cracking after exposure to pool chemicals, temperature shifts, and sunlight. While it functions perfectly initially, the perceived lack of robust quality and necessary longevity is the main drawback, suggesting material improvements are needed for this critical component.
