Product details
The Sta-Rite 24901-0003 is a sand filter lateral, listed for the S8S70. It is the genuine Sta-Rite part.
What it does
Laterals are the slotted arms at the bottom of a sand filter tank. Filtered water leaves through the slots while the sand is held back. When one cracks, the sand goes with the water and turns up on the pool floor a day later.
Before you order
The part is named for the S8S70 and is filed with the System 3 sand filter parts covering both the S7S50 and the S8S70, so match your filter model plate before ordering. Reaching the laterals means opening the tank and getting the sand out, which is the real work here, so check every lateral and the bulkhead seal while you are in there.
