Hayward Top Collector Manifold

This manifold is specifically designed for Hayward Pro-Grid and Micro-Clear D.E. filters. You should verify that your filter model matches the DEX2400C part number to ensure a proper fit.

This is a replacement manifold assembly. It does not typically include additional hardware like screws or o-rings, so you should plan to reuse your existing hardware or purchase a separate seal kit if your current components are worn.

You likely need a replacement if you notice cracks in the plastic housing, if the manifold is no longer holding the filter grids securely in place, or if you see D.E. powder returning to your pool, which often indicates a failure in the manifold's seal.

Yes, this part is listed as compatible with both Hayward and CMP equipment. However, always double-check your specific filter model number against the DEX2400C specification to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

This is generally considered a straightforward DIY task for most pool owners. You will need to open the filter tank, remove the grid assembly, and swap the manifold, but ensure you turn off the pump and relieve all pressure from the system before starting.
