{"product_id":"lateral-manifold-assembly-19","title":"Waterway Lateral and Manifold Assembly, 19 Inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is and where it sits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe symptom that sends people here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSand 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629387493588,"sku":"WWP-051-2050","price":63.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_35e72b1f-c62a-4f05-85bc-4529546066ba.gif?v=1788765875","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/lateral-manifold-assembly-19","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
