073270Z | Pentair Purex Filters Manifold | 8 Hole

The OEM Pentair 073270Z Manifold is a direct replacement component for the bottom manifold in Purex SM and SMBW 2000 and 4000 Series D.E. filters, featuring eight evenly spaced holes to ensure balanced water flow across the filter media. This part ensures that all filter grids are correctly aligned and secured, eliminating the risk of bypass or uneven water distribution. Built to OEM specifications, it fits perfectly into the original filter housing, supporting consistent filtration and long-term equipment reliability. Constructed from durable materials designed to resist chemical degradation and withstand operational pressures, it helps maintain efficient pool filtration over time.

Highlights
