Hayward Filter Element Locator for ProGrid DE Filters W3DE3620 W3DE4820 W3DE6020 | DEX2400H

Description

The Hayward Filter Element Locator (DEX2400H) is the OEM replacement locator component for Hayward ProGrid DE Filters, keeping the filter element grid assembly correctly positioned within the filter tank during operation.

This locator holds the filter element grid pack in its proper orientation inside the ProGrid filter tank, preventing lateral movement that could allow unfiltered water to bypass the DE-coated grids. Replacing a worn or broken locator restores correct grid alignment and maintains filtration efficiency.

Compatibility is based on Hayward parts documentation and available OEM records. This is not an exhaustive list. For certainty, verify the part number in your equipment’s manual or on the original part itself before ordering.

Poolaroo Pro Tip

When reassembling the ProGrid filter after a DE recharge or grid cleaning, inspect the locator for cracks or deformation before reinstalling the grid pack. A damaged locator allows the grids to shift under pump pressure, which can result in channeling — water finding a path around the DE media — and reduced water clarity even with a fresh DE charge.
