Product details
The Hayward SWX256DA2 is the lateral assembly with center pipe for the SwimPro SW256T sand filter. It is the genuine Hayward part and it comes complete, laterals and standpipe together.
What the laterals do
The lateral assembly sits at the bottom of the filter tank, buried under the sand bed. Each lateral arm is slotted finely enough to let filtered water through while holding the sand back. Water passes into them, up the center pipe and out to the returns.
The symptom
Sand appearing in the pool, especially after a backwash, points to a cracked or split lateral. Once one arm fails, sand goes straight up the standpipe and into the pool no matter how the valve is set.
Doing the job
Reaching the assembly means emptying the sand out of the tank, so most people replace the media at the same time. Hayward lists this assembly as limited availability, so it is worth having the part in hand before opening the filter.
