LATERAL ASSY W/CENTER PIPE | GMX152DA
Hayward GMX152DA is a lateral assembly with a center pipe, designed for use in Hayward sand filters. This assembly is a key internal component that ensures efficient water filtration by evenly distributing water through the sand bed and collecting clean water for recirculation.
- Water Distribution and Filtration:
- The lateral assembly consists of multiple perforated “fingers” or laterals attached to a central pipe.
- Water enters the sand filter, flows through the sand bed, and is evenly distributed by the laterals.
- Contaminants are trapped in the sand, and the clean water is collected through the lateral assembly.
- Backwashing Support:
- During backwashing, the assembly allows reverse(backwash) water flow to flush out debris trapped in the sand, ensuring optimal filter performance.
- Replacement:
- Replacing a worn or damaged lateral assembly restores proper filtration and prevents sand leakage or poor water clarity.
