It is commonly replaced after equipment movement, impact damage, or long term UV and weather exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: SX180K\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilter base for Hayward S180T sand filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes screws and washers as listed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupports and stabilizes the filter tank on the equipment pad\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReplacement part for damaged or unstable filter bases\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Shut down the system and relieve pressure before disconnecting plumbing or shifting the filter.
