Q: After many years of usage, I replaced a Hayward Key cover & handle assembly/multiport # S244S by another multiport key # SPX0710XBA17. It fits OK but started leaking after few months' usage. Are these numbers compatible? if not, what is the current model # that I can buy which is compatible to S244S. I found many numbers in the net, and I am confused to the point that I do not know which is which. I need your help ASAP, please.

Q: Hello, I inquiring about the price of the sand filter
By Hayward Support
Q: My S244s filter has placard stating backwash and filter design rate at 62GPM. Is this optimal rate or max rate the filter can handle. I’ve installed a new variable speed pump and motor but the flow seems much less than previous single speed pump assembly. I can adjust flow greater than 62 on new assembly, but am hesitant increase it to 60

Q: Hi - I just ordered a new S244S. How do I know that it is an authentic (not knockoff) Hayward Product? Is there a way to send a picture and show you? I don't think that sending the serial number is foolproof since that is just a sticker on the filter body and on the box.
