Waterway | 505-2160 | Carefree Lateral and Manifold Assembly for 22-Inch Sand Filter
The Waterway 505-2160 Carefree Lateral and Manifold Assembly is a replacement internal component designed for compatible 22-inch Carefree sand filter systems. This assembly distributes incoming water evenly across the sand bed and collects filtered water during normal operation. Engineered for residential pool applications, it supports efficient media performance and balanced hydraulic flow.
Key Features
• Replacement lateral and manifold assembly for 22-inch Carefree sand filters.
• Evenly distributes water across the sand media bed during filtration.
• Collects filtered water while retaining sand media within the tank.
• Supports proper backwash operation for effective media cleaning.
• Durable construction suitable for continuous submersion in treated pool water.
• Designed for secure installation within compatible filter tanks.
• Intended for residential sand filtration maintenance and repair.
Product Overview
The Waterway 505-2160 Carefree Lateral and Manifold Assembly is engineered to maintain proper internal water distribution in compatible 22-inch sand filter systems. The central manifold channels water to individual laterals, which allow clean water to pass while preventing sand from escaping into the return line.
During backwash cycles, the assembly reverses water flow to loosen and clean the sand bed. Over time, laterals can crack or wear, reducing filtration efficiency or allowing media to enter the pool. Replacing the lateral and manifold assembly restores dependable hydraulic balance and supports long-term sand filter performance in residential pool applications.
