HCF236C LATERAL KIT

Hayward HCF236C Lateral Kit is a genuine replacement lateral‑assembly designed for the Hayward HCF236C 36‑inch commercial sand filter (the version with 2.5‑inch ports). It consists of a full set of slotted laterals (the “fingers” at the bottom of the filter tank) that collect water after it has passed through the sand media. These laterals draw the cleaned water up into the central standpipe and out of the filter, while holding sand in the tank — preventing it from escaping into the pool system. Because the laterals are molded from durable, corrosion‑resistant polymer suitable for pool conditions, the kit helps restore proper internal water flow, prevents sand bypass, and ensures the filter continues to deliver efficient filtration and long service life.
