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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-22 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303486148883,"sku":"DEX2400H","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-filter-element-locator-for-progrid-de-filters-w3de3620-w3de4820-w3de6020-dex2400h-1.webp?v=1787907393","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_dex2400h","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
