Hayward SX200H Bottom Drain Screen - For S200T

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200H is a bottom drain screen specified for the Hayward S200T sand filter. It installs at the filter drain area to help keep debris from entering or obstructing the drain opening during service. This part is located at the base of the filter near the drain port.

Why This Part Matters
If the drain screen is missing or damaged, debris can clog the drain and slow down winterizing and filter drain downs. A clogged drain wastes time and can lead to messy disassembly when water will not evacuate cleanly. Replacing the correct screen helps keep draining predictable and protects the drain opening. It is a common maintenance item when drain parts have been removed repeatedly.
