Product details

The Waterway 505-1970 is the plastic collar wrench for split-nut threaded style filters. It fits Waterway TWM, ClearWater and Carefree sand filters.

What it is for

The collar is what holds the multiport valve down on the filter tank. It has to come off for a valve service, a spider gasket, or a sand change, and it has to go back down evenly and tight enough to seal. That is a job with a specific tool, and this is it.

Why plastic

The collar is plastic, and so is the wrench. A screwdriver, a mallet or a pair of pliers takes material off the lugs every time it slips, and a collar with rounded lugs cannot be pulled down square again. From then on it seeps, and the fix is a new collar rather than a new gasket.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which filters is this wrench for?
Waterway TWM, ClearWater and Carefree sand filters that use the split-nut threaded style collar.
Will it work on a clamp band filter?
No. It is for the split-nut threaded collar. A clamp band filter uses a band and bolt instead and needs no wrench of this type.
Why not just use a screwdriver and a mallet?
Because that is how collars get chewed. Once the lugs are damaged the collar will not pull down evenly, and an uneven collar is a valve that seeps.
Is it plastic or metal?
Plastic, which is deliberate. A steel tool on a plastic collar takes material off the lugs every time it slips.
