Product details

The Hayward SP1072S is a 1-1/2 inch in-line backwash sight glass. It is the genuine Hayward part, listed with Vari-Flo top mount 1-1/2 inch valve parts for models SP-710X, SP-711-13, SP-711-20 and SP-712.

What it is for

Backwashing has one honest stopping point: when the water leaving the filter runs clear. Without a sight glass you cannot see that moment, so you either stop early and leave the filter dirty or run on and send hundreds of gallons of treated water down the waste line for nothing. The sight glass sits in that line and shows you exactly when to shut it off.

Fitting and size

This is the in-line version, plumbed into the 1-1/2 inch waste line rather than mounted on the valve body. It measures 4.5 inches long by 3 inches wide by 3 inches deep. A 2 inch version is available for larger waste lines.

When to change it

Replace it once the body has clouded or stained to the point that you cannot judge the water, or if it has started to weep at the threads.

Questions and answers

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

What does a sight glass actually do?
It gives you a window into the waste line during a backwash. You watch the water and stop when it runs clear, rather than backwashing for a fixed time and hoping.
Is this the in-line type?
Yes. It plumbs into the 1-1/2 inch waste line rather than screwing into the valve body.
What size is it?
1-1/2 inch, listed at 4.5 inches long by 3 inches wide by 3 inches deep.
Why replace an old one?
Sight glasses cloud, stain and craze until you can no longer judge the water through them, and old ones crack at the threads and leak. Either way the point of having one is lost.
