HCF230C 2IN COLLECTOR ASSY

The HCF Series 30" sand filter from Hayward is a commercial‑grade, fiberglass‑housed sand filter engineered for robust, long‑term performance — suitable for pool, spa, water‑feature, or other aquatic environments. It uses a molded, gel‑coated fiberglass tank designed to resist corrosion and degradation (for example from UV exposure or pool chemicals). Inside, the filter features a horizontal lateral “grid‑array” of 360° slotted laterals and a diffuser‑head distribution system that helps distribute water evenly through the sand bed; this even distribution reduces “channelization,” lengthens filter cycles, and improves overall filtration efficiency. The tank is fitted with a secure, tool‑free “twist‑lock” lid (with O‑ring seal) or similar rapid open/close manway — making media loading, inspection, and maintenance more convenient. The HCF‑30 is built for sustained service under pressure (up to ~50 psi), and includes corrosion‑resistant internals (PVC/ABS) and durable sealing materials, making it a reliable choice when you need a rugged, low‑maintenance sand filter that can stand up to heavy‑duty use.
