A damaged lateral section can throw off internal filtration flow and reduce how evenly the media bed or separation section is doing its job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lateral assembly kit is used in the Raypak Protege RPSF filter system and is specified as a 126mm assembly. The lateral section helps distribute or collect water correctly within the filter body. When laterals crack, detach, or wear out, the filter can lose internal flow control and performance drops quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebris is returning to the pool after filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal lateral parts are cracked, broken, or missing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow distribution inside the filter is no longer even\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter teardown confirms damage to the lateral assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this part does:\u003c\/strong\u003e It provides the lateral assembly used to manage internal water distribution in the compatible Protege RPSF filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for Raypak Protege RPSF systems requiring the 126mm lateral assembly.
