{"product_id":"hcf336c-lateral-kit","title":"HCF336C LATERAL KIT","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward HCF336C Lateral Kit is a full replacement lateral‑assembly designed for the 36‑inch, 3‑inch‑port model of the HCF commercial‑grade fiberglass sand filter. In a sand‑filter system, the lateral kit sits at the bottom of the filter tank — once water has passed downward through the sand media and dirt\/particles have been trapped, the laterals collect the now‑filtered water and channel it into the central standpipe so it can exit the filter housing. Because the laterals are slotted and arranged to draw water evenly across the entire sand bed, they prevent sand from escaping into the return flow — ensuring that only clean water reaches the pool or spa. Constructed from robust, corrosion‑ and chemical‑resistant polymer materials, the kit is built to withstand prolonged exposure to pool chemicals, water pressure, and regular use, thereby restoring proper internal water flow, preventing sand bypass, and maintaining solid filtration performance and longevity in demanding, high‑capacity aquatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43883319984239,"sku":"HCXFWLATKIT311","price":48.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/Screenshot2026-02-17102646.png?v=1771855504","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/hcf336c-lateral-kit","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
