Hayward Filter Head With Vent Valve, Taupe

Best online price and the order arrived in two days with free shipping.

First, Poolzoom was great. Part showed up in 4 days. I got concerned when I did not get the promised shipping confirmation email, but that all worked out. The part looked exactly like the old part and fit the housing exactly as it should have. Problem was the hole for the lever shaft in the center of the part. It was about 15 thousandsth too small. I had to drive the shaft through the hole with a hammer knowing full well that I was ruining it, but at that point I had no other options. It sealed with no leaks, but completely non-functional as expected. Figured I would live with it, until the top cracked and started leaking like the one I replaced after 5 days. I had to order a complete new filter just because I am so mad at this one I'm just going to toss it. I don't know if there are different model variations or what, but the difference is so small you can't tell with measuring first.
