It is the genuine Hayward part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it changes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing and aim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633668829396,"sku":"HAY-25-1666","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_ef7897bf-34f0-4f4f-8301-556d3ee7121b.jpg?v=1788808502","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/large-3-4-hydrostream","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
