Product details
The Hayward SP1418D is the HydroStream return inlet fitting with a 3/4 inch opening, in white. It is the genuine Hayward part.
What it changes
A return inlet does more than let water back into the pool. By narrowing the outlet, a HydroStream turns the same flow into a faster, more directional stream. That stream is what carries circulation across the pool instead of letting it die a foot from the wall, and good circulation is what makes chemicals disperse evenly and pushes floating debris toward the skimmer.
Sizing and aim
This is the larger 3/4 inch opening. A smaller opening produces a faster jet but adds resistance on the return side of the system, so the size is a trade off rather than a case of smaller being better. Aim matters as much as size: point it away from the skimmer and slightly down, then watch where surface debris collects and adjust from there.
