Swimables Manifold for Pentair Purex Filters | 073270Z | SW-26-369

The Swimables SW-26-369 is an 8-hole bottom manifold designed as a direct replacement for Pentair part 073270Z, built specifically for use in Pentair Purex SM and SMBW 2000 and 4000 Series D.E. filters. Within the filtration system, the manifold serves a dual function — anchoring the D.E. filter grids securely in position while evenly distributing water flow across all grid surfaces to maintain consistent filtration performance. A cracked or compromised manifold is among the most frequently encountered causes of debris bypassing the filter entirely, resulting in persistently cloudy pool water even when the grids themselves appear undamaged and clean. The SW-26-369 delivers a fast, affordable path to restored filtration performance, eliminating the need for a full filter assembly replacement and reducing both parts costs and service time for pool owners and technicians.

Highlights

• Direct Replacement for Pentair 073270Z: Manufactured to match OEM Pentair specifications, the SW-26-369 installs seamlessly into Pentair Purex SM and SMBW 2000 and 4000 Series D.E. filters, with confirmed compatibility across models 2024, 2036, 2048, 2060, 2072, 4024, 4036, 4048, and 4060.
• 8-Hole Configuration for Balanced Water Distribution: The 8-hole bottom manifold design promotes even, consistent water flow through all D.E. filter grids simultaneously, preventing dead zones within the filter and sustaining the filtration efficiency the system was engineered to deliver.
• Eliminates Debris Bypass at the Source: By firmly securing the filter grid assembly within the housing, the SW-26-369 closes the gaps that allow unfiltered water and fine debris to circumvent the grids — directly addressing one of the most common root causes of cloudy pool water in D.E. filtration systems.
• Heavy-Duty, Chemical-Resistant Construction: Built from pool-grade materials selected for durability under sustained water pressure and continuous chemical exposure, the SW-26-369 is engineered to hold up under the demanding operating conditions of an active D.E. filtration system season after season.
• Cost-Effective Alternative to Full Filter Replacement: Targeting only the failed manifold component rather than the entire filter assembly, the SW-26-369 offers a practical, budget-friendly restoration option that significantly reduces both parts expenditure and labor time for homeowners and pool service professionals.
