Genuine Hayward Replacement Part
Hayward SX244CD2FWS S244S Bottom Elbow Assembly with Air Tube
The Hayward SX244CD2FWS Bottom Elbow Assembly with Air Tube
is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for compatible
Hayward ProSeries S244S side-mount sand filters. This updated
assembly replaces a worn, cracked or damaged lower elbow and restores the
internal connection between the filter plumbing and air tube system.
Supplied as an assembled replacement part, it is ideal for repairing the
internal lower plumbing of an S244S filter without replacing the complete
sand filter tank.
OEM Hayward Part
Manufactured for proper fit and compatibility
Made for the S244S
Designed for the 24-inch ProSeries side-mount filter
Air Tube Included
Complete updated bottom elbow assembly
Product Overview
The bottom elbow is an internal plumbing component located inside the
filter tank. It helps direct water through the lower portion of the filter
assembly while supporting the air tube connection used by the filter’s
internal system.
Damage to this part may result in internal leaks, poor filtration,
disturbed sand or improper flow through the filter. Replacing the damaged
elbow with the correct OEM assembly helps return the filter to its intended
operating configuration.

Does the SX244CD2FWS fit every Hayward sand filter?
No. This assembly is specifically associated with the Hayward
S244S. It should not be assumed to fit S310S, top-mount
ProSeries filters or other Hayward filter sizes. Verify the filter model
printed on the tank label before ordering.
When Should the Bottom Elbow Be Replaced?
This part may need replacement when:
- The existing elbow is cracked, split or physically damaged
- The air tube or its connection has broken
- Internal filter plumbing has become loose or disconnected
- Sand is returning to the pool due to damage inside the filter
- The filter is being rebuilt and the lower elbow assembly is worn
Installation note: Sand filter repairs typically require
opening the tank and removing some or all of the filter media. Installation
should be completed with the circulation system turned off and fully
depressurized. Inspect the laterals, seals, internal pipe and diffuser while
the filter is open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the air tube included?
Yes. The SX244CD2FWS is identified as the S244S bottom elbow assembly with
the updated air tube.
Is this the top elbow?
No. This is the lower or bottom elbow assembly. The top elbow and diffuser
are separate filter components.
Will this fit the Hayward S310S?
No. Hayward lists a different bottom elbow assembly for the larger S310S
filter. Confirm the exact tank model before ordering.
Is this a complete lateral assembly?
No. This listing is for the bottom elbow assembly with air tube. The
lateral holder, vertical pipe and laterals may be sold separately unless
specifically stated otherwise.
Please verify compatibility before ordering. Pool filter
parts can look similar while differing by filter diameter, production
revision and internal plumbing design. Match the complete
SX244CD2FWS part number and confirm that your filter model is
S244S.
