{"product_id":"bottom-drain-screen","title":"Hayward Bottom Drain Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward SX200H is the bottom drain screen for the S-200 and S-240 side mount sand filters and the S-160T two piece top mount sand filter. It is the genuine Hayward part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe screen covers the drain opening at the base of the tank. When the filter is drained, water leaves and the sand does not, because the screen holds the media back. Without it, or with a cracked one, sand goes out through the drain and can end up in the plumbing below the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to change it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe screen only becomes visible when the tank is open, so a media change is the natural time to inspect it. Look for cracks around the rim and broken mesh. It costs far less than the sand it protects, and refitting the old one to save a few dollars is a poor trade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627976667348,"sku":"HAY-051-2191","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_c8cd98bc-5a38-46af-863c-cd56019d70fc.png?v=1788732108","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/bottom-drain-screen","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
