Pentair 073270Z Manifold | 8 Hole | Purex Filters

The OEM Pentair Manifold 073270Z is an 8-hole replacement designed for Purex SM and SMBW 2000 and 4000 Series D.E. filters, serving as the bottom manifold assembly that channels water through the filter’s internal grid structure. This essential component ensures that water distribution is consistent across all filter grids, improving particulate removal and overall filtration effectiveness. It directly replaces the OEM bottom manifold, fitting precisely within specified filter models to prevent misalignment or bypass flow. Constructed to meet Pentair's original specifications, it withstands exposure to pool chemicals and pressure variations, helping extend the service life of your filtration equipment.
