It is the genuine Hayward part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA DE filter is a stack of grids that has to stay clamped as one unit. The retainer rods run through that stack and take the load. When a rod bends, corrodes through or goes missing after a teardown, the grids lose their alignment and DE finds its way past them, which is what an owner sees as powder returning to the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the fitment before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe source information here is not consistent. The part is described as the 28 inch rod for the 48 square foot Hayward DE filter, and it is also listed against models DE2420 and DE2400. The safest check is the physical one: pull a rod and measure it. If yours is 28 inches, this is the right length. Rods are sold one at a time, so count how many the filter needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628861370580,"sku":"HAY-051-1812","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8d9246e0-c9fd-444f-9b98-c9e14d4d8c4c.png?v=1788755644","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/retainer-rod-28-for-hayward-48-sqft-de-filter","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
