Product details

The Waterway 505-2060 is the lateral and manifold assembly for the 22 in Clearwater top mount sand filter. Laterals and manifold come as one assembly, so the whole underdrain is replaced together.

What the assembly does

It sits under the sand bed. The manifold distributes water across the tank so the sand filters evenly instead of channeling, and the slotted laterals let filtered water out while holding the sand in. Both halves of that job matter, and both fail in the same part.

The symptom

Sand in the pool after backwashing, or sand blowing through the returns, almost always means a lateral has cracked or a slot has opened up. No amount of valve work fixes that; the assembly has to come out.

Doing the job

Getting to the assembly means opening the tank and removing the sand, which is the bulk of the work. Since the sand is already out, most people put fresh media in at the same time rather than shoveling the old sand back.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which filter does this fit?
It is listed with the Waterway Clearwater top mount sand filter parts, in the 22 in size. Confirm your tank size before ordering.
Do the laterals come with the manifold?
Yes. This is the complete lateral and manifold assembly, not individual laterals.
Why is sand coming back into my pool?
A split or cracked lateral is the usual cause. The slots that hold the sand back open up, and sand passes into the return line.
How hard is the job?
The tank has to be opened and the sand removed to get to the assembly, so most people replace the sand at the same time rather than reusing it.
