Know before you buy
This collector is designed as a direct replacement for Hayward Pro-Grid DE, Micro-Clear, and Micro-Clear SS filter models. It is specifically engineered to replace Hayward part number DEX2400C.
Yes, it includes both the air bleeder intake tube and the Flex Air Relief Assembly, so you do not need to purchase those components separately.
No, this is a high-quality aftermarket replacement manufactured by CMP. It is designed to meet or exceed the performance specifications of the original Hayward part.
You should consider a replacement if you notice cracks in the plastic, if the air relief assembly is no longer seating properly, or if you are experiencing a loss of filtration efficiency that cleaning the grids does not resolve.
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to remove the filter tank top and secure the manifold. Ensure you have a fresh tank O-ring on hand, as it is standard practice to replace it whenever the filter tank is opened.
