Hayward SX200C Internal Elbow - For S200T

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200C is an internal elbow specified for the Hayward S200T sand filter. It is part of the internal plumbing that routes water within the filter tank between connection points and the internal distribution components. This elbow lives inside the filter and is accessed during sand changes and internal repairs.

Why This Part Matters
A cracked internal elbow can cause bypass issues and reduced filtration performance that is hard to diagnose from the outside. Internal plumbing failures can also affect backwash behavior and keep the pool from clearing up. Replacing the correct elbow restores proper internal flow routing through the sand bed. This is commonly handled when the filter is already opened for sand replacement or leak repair.
