Sitting at the absolute lowest pressure point of the sand filter chassis beneath several hundred pounds of dense silica sand media, its primary operational role is to unify and manage the entire hydraulic transition zone of the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eDuring the standard pool filtration cycle, the fine slots spanning the laterals allow clean, clear water to seamlessly transition from the sand bed into the collection core while acting as an absolute physical barrier that blocks sand particles from bypassing the grid and entering the pool return piping. Conversely, during high-velocity backwash flow reversals, the assembly uniformly distributes inverted, pressurized water outward to lift, fluidize, and cleanly flush trapped organic debris from the sand matrix. This robust architecture enables the core assembly to easily handle high volume distribution velocities and safely sustain continuous internal operating parameters up to 50 PSI without unseating, thread-binding, or structural cracking under sudden pump vibration surges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eEngineered to remain permanently submerged in a highly dynamic, chemical-rich environment, its rugged framework completely resists material degradation, stress-cracking, and corrosive bleaching from high-strength pool sanitizers like chlorine, bromine, and winterizing acid flushes. Due to its wide-diameter radial finger footprint and solid plastic center hub configuration, this complete collector assembly carries a net product and shipping weight of approximately \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"468\"\u003e6.50 to 7.75 pounds\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53416213020783,"sku":"24900-0100S","price":1147.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/249000100S__83473.jpg?v=1782745375","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/pentair-collector-assembly-with-laterals","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
