Know before you buy
No, this specific rod is designed exclusively for the 24 square foot MicroClear DE2420 and Pro-Grid DE2420 models. It is not a universal part, so please verify your filter model number before purchasing.
The retainer rod is essential for keeping the internal grid assembly properly aligned and secured within the tank. Without it, the grids may shift, leading to poor filtration or potential damage to the filter housing.
This is a genuine Hayward manufacturer component. Using authentic parts ensures the correct dimensions and material quality required for your specific filter model.
You should inspect your rod if you notice it is bent, corroded, or if the grid assembly feels loose inside the tank. A compromised rod can prevent the filter from sealing correctly, which may lead to DE powder leaking back into your pool.
No, this listing is for the retainer rod only. If your existing hardware, such as nuts or washers, is damaged, you may need to source those components separately.
