Designed by Hayward — a respected leader in pool equipment — the S270T2 combines rugged build quality with hydraulic performance suited for higher horsepower pumps. The larger filter diameter and tank volume increase sand capacity and dirt-holding ability, helping extend time between backwashes and maintain steady water clarity across high turnover applications.

Equipped with a 2-inch multiport valve, this filter supports stronger flow rates while minimizing pressure restrictions. Internally, the distribution laterals and sand bed design work together to promote even water movement and effective particulates capture while backwashing restores peak performance. Built from reinforced polymer, the tank resists corrosion, weathering, and long-term outdoor exposure.
