Hayward SX200BT Filter Head - Taupe For S200T
What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200BT is a filter head specified for the Hayward S200T sand filter, listed in taupe. It is the top head component that closes the filter and provides the top connection area for operation and service access. This part sits at the top of the filter on the equipment pad.
Why This Part Matters
If the filter head is cracked or warped, the filter can leak under pressure and become unreliable during normal filtration and backwashing. A compromised top head can also make it hard to keep seals seated and can lead to repeat leaks after service. Replacing the correct head restores a secure top closure so the filter holds pressure properly. This is a common repair after freeze damage or overtightening during prior maintenance.
