Addressing these components together during a cluster replacement minimises downtime and reduces the likelihood of a return service visit. Always backwash and clean the filter tank thoroughly before installing the new assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-18 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303479464211,"sku":"DEX3600DC","price":683.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/HPPDEX3600DC_0.jpg?v=1781650346","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_dex3600dc","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
