Quick overview

  • Genuine Hayward Factory part SX244G, not an aftermarket substitute.
  • Side mount sand filters Listed for the Hayward Pro Series and Pro Series Plus side mount tanks.
  • Spreads incoming water The diffuser breaks up the inlet stream so it does not dig a channel through the sand bed.
  • Sold as an assembly Supplied complete rather than as separate diffuser pieces.
  • Direct replacement Fits in place of the original with no modification to the tank.
  • Worth changing at a sand swap The tank is already open, and a cracked diffuser is the usual reason sand ends up in the pool.

Product details

SX244G is the Hayward top diffuser assembly for the Pro Series and Pro Series Plus side mount sand filters. It is the genuine Hayward part, supplied complete.

What it does

Water entering a sand filter arrives as a single hard stream. The diffuser sits at the top of the tank and spreads that stream across the whole surface of the bed. Without it, the inlet water cuts a channel straight down through the sand and most of the bed stops doing any filtering at all. A cracked or missing diffuser also lets sand migrate, which is how grit ends up back in the pool.

Fitment

Hayward lists this diffuser against the Pro Series side mount tanks S210S, S220S, S244S, S310S and S360S, and the Pro Series Plus S311SX, S311SXV and S360SX. Read the model number off the filter label rather than going by tank size, since the side mount and top mount ranges use different internals.

Questions and answers

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

Which filters does this fit?
It is listed for the Hayward Pro Series side mount sand filters S210S, S220S, S244S, S310S and S360S, and the Pro Series Plus S311SX, S311SXV and S360SX. Check the model on your tank label before ordering.
Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. Hayward part number SX244G.
Does it come complete?
Yes. It is supplied as the top diffuser assembly rather than as loose pieces.
Why would the diffuser need replacing?
Plastic diffusers crack and break up with age. When that happens the inlet water hits the sand bed directly, which channels the sand and can push it through into the pool.
