Hayward S244T Lateral Assembly

This assembly is designed specifically for Hayward Pro Series S244T and S270T sand filters manufactured in 1997 or later. Before purchasing, verify your filter model number on the tank label to ensure it matches these specific units.

The umbrella-style design allows the laterals to fold, which makes the installation process significantly easier when inserting the assembly into the tank. It also ensures consistent water distribution across the filter media, which improves overall filtration efficiency and makes backwashing more effective.

Yes, this is a complete OEM replacement kit that includes the 28-inch center pipe and the ten folding laterals. You will not need to purchase additional components to complete the assembly itself.

Most pool owners find this a straightforward repair. Because the laterals fold, you can easily slide the assembly through the top opening of the filter tank without needing to remove the entire sand bed, though you will need to clear some sand away from the center to seat it properly.

Genuine Hayward parts are engineered to exact specifications for your specific filter model, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance. Using OEM parts prevents issues with water flow or seal integrity that can sometimes occur with generic, 'one-size-fits-all' replacements.
