Hayward SX164B Filter Skirt - For S164T

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX164B is a filter skirt specified for the Hayward S164T sand filter as listed. It fits around the lower portion of the filter to provide proper support positioning and protection at the base area. This part is located at the bottom of the filter on the equipment pad.

Why This Part Matters
A damaged or missing skirt can leave the filter base area unsupported or exposed, which can contribute to instability and stress on plumbing connections. Poor support increases the chance of leaks at unions and fittings over time. Replacing the correct skirt helps keep the filter positioned correctly and reduces shifting during service. It is commonly replaced when equipment has been moved or base components have cracked.
