Ophjerg SX180DA Lateral Assembly with Center Pipe – Replacement for Hayward Pro Sand Filters

Ophjerg SX180DA is a robust lateral assembly with a center pipe designed to replace Hayward Pro Series sand filter components. It is compatible with multiple S-series models, including S180T, S210T1580, S190TSCPE, S170TSCPE, and S210T1580 high-rate units. This replacement part aims to restore filtration efficiency and minimize sand intrusion, helping you maintain clear pool water.

Engineered for compatibility and durability, this PVC lateral with center pipe is built to withstand regular pool maintenance. It functions as a direct replacement for the Hayward SX180DA part, offering a reliable alternative when replacements are needed for common sand filter repairs.

Key benefits

• Precise compatibility with Hayward Pro Series and High-Rate filters, ensuring a snug seal and proper water flow.
• One-piece design reduces the chance of leaks and sand bypass, supporting stable filtration performance.

Why this matters in practice: a cracked center pipe can cause sand to appear in the returns. The SX180DA assembly provides a complete solution that seals the filtration system while allowing clean water to pass through, preserving water clarity and reducing downtime.

Installation tips and value

• Easy replacement: remove the old assembly and install the new unit as a direct swap with a center pipe.
• Cost-conscious option: a replacement kit can offer substantial savings versus OEM parts, without compromising essential function.

Before you pour in new sand, tape the pipe to prevent sand from entering and clogging the laterals. Fill the tank about halfway with water to cushion the sand, and center the pipe as you add sand for best results.
