Side Mount Sand Filter (Valve Not Included)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward W3S310S is the 30 in. side mount sand filter in the Pro Series range. It is supplied as the filter, with no valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide mount, and why that matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tank is built for a side mount valve, so the valve bolts to the side of the tank rather than sitting on top of it. A top mount valve will not fit. Because the valve is a separate order, you can choose the one that suits the plumbing you already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiving with a sand filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sand filter is serviced by backwashing rather than by pulling and rinsing cartridges. That makes routine maintenance a matter of turning a valve, with a media change every several seasons instead of an element change every year or two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48625847402708,"sku":"HAY-05-810","price":1553.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_12837efe-11c9-4ed3-90bd-17bcc0f41caa.jpg?v=1788701501","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pro-series-sand-30-side-mount-valve-not-included","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
