It is the genuine Pentair replacement part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the top manifold does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside a DE filter the grids stand in a pack, and the top manifold is what holds their upper ends in position and seals them. It keeps the grids spaced so water passes evenly across every face, and it stops unfiltered water from taking a shortcut past the media. When the manifold cracks or a port distorts, filtered and unfiltered water mix, and diatomaceous earth ends up back in the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to change it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manifold is worth inspecting every time the tank comes apart. Look for hairline cracks around the ports, a broken lug, or a body that no longer sits square on the grid tops. Because a failing manifold puts uneven load on the grids themselves, it is sensible to check the whole element pack while you have it out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633668305108,"sku":"AMP-051-1163","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_f83d4613-45c7-419b-b07d-0e4ff01982db.png?v=1788808483","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/manifold-top-titan-ss","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
