Leak Prevention
Customers have mixed opinions regarding leak prevention with the Hayward S244T ProSeries 24 In- Ground Sand Pool Filter. While some report success in preventing leaks through the application of waterproof lubricant, teflon tape, and slip joint adapters, others have experienced issues with leaking seams and broken parts within less than a year.
Highlights
Quality
Dry sand is much easier to fill with and helps mitigate issues of impact with wet sand hitting the folding laterals2.
