I've had a Hayward S360SX sand filter for a couple years now and it's started leaking in the same areas as others have had trouble with. I'm convinced it's a design defect and I'm really disappointed that Hayward never came forward with recalls... but alas I just need a working pool filter. Pool is approx 22k gallons and uses 2" pipes. I'd like something similar to the filter I had, but I'm not sure what route to go. This filter uses a side mount multiport valve. It seems most filters now use top mount... if I go with a Pentair is there any chance my current multiport valve will fit? Or did they make the mounting position different so that brands aren't cross compatible? I'm a bit gun shy after having this hayward filter, the rest of my pool equip is pentair (pump, automation, swg, cleaner). Any recommendations for a new sand filter?
