- 19 inch The size this assembly is listed at, so match it to your filter tank.
- Clearwater sand filters Waterway files this assembly under its Clearwater top mount sand filter parts.

Product details
The Waterway 505-2050 is the lateral and manifold assembly for 19 inch Clearwater top mount sand filters. It arrives as one piece: the manifold with its laterals already fitted.
What it is and where it sits
The assembly lives at the very bottom of the filter tank, buried under the sand. Its laterals are slotted arms fine enough to pass water but not media, so clean water leaves the tank while the sand stays where it belongs. Everything the filter does depends on those slots staying intact.
The symptom that sends people here
Sand appearing on the pool floor or blowing out of the returns almost always means a lateral has cracked. It is a job that requires draining the tank and digging the media out, so while you have it open it is worth replacing the whole assembly rather than a single arm.
