Drain Plug with O-Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward CX250Z14A is the 1\/2 in. drain plug for Star Clear filter tanks, supplied with its O-ring. It is the genuine Hayward part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it leaks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drain plug sits at the bottom of the filter and gets opened every time the tank is drained for a cartridge clean. The O-ring takes that cycling, plus season after season of chemistry and sun, and eventually flattens or splits. What you see is a slow weep at the base of the filter that never quite stops, and that no amount of extra tightening cures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward lists this plug across the Star Clear, Star-Clear II and Star Clear Plus cartridge filters and the Pro Grid DE separation tank, so check your model against the fits list. Go in hand tight with a lightly lubricated O-ring. Plastic threads do not forgive a wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627879477460,"sku":"HAY-051-1527","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_428fd7c1-0c0f-4518-b0d5-aa6c0fc98068.png?v=1788729551","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/star-clear-1-2-drain-plug-w-o-ring","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
