Hayward Pro Series 24" Side Mount Sand Filter without Valve
The Hayward Pro Series 24" Side Mount Sand Filter without Valve (S244SLV) is the tank-only version of the ProSeries 24-inch side-mount sand filter — ideal for replacements where the existing side-mount VariFlo valve is being reused, or for new installations where the valve is specified separately. The ProSeries umbrella-fold self-cleaning lateral system provides efficient flow and totally balanced backwashing for long-lasting performance.
Built with durable corrosion-proof materials, large pressure sand/water drain, injection-molded polymer base. Suitable for in-ground pools, spas, and ponds. Backed by a 1-year warranty.
Note: No valve included. Filter sand not included. A compatible Hayward VariFlo side-mount valve must be purchased separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the S244SLV (no valve) and the S244S (with valve)?
The S244S includes a 1-1/2 inch VariFlo side-mount valve in the box — it's a complete system ready to plumb. The S244SLV is the tank only — no valve included. Choose the S244SLV when you're replacing just the tank and will reuse or separately purchase the valve, or when the valve is being specified independently.
What valve does the S244SLV require?
The S244SLV uses a Hayward VariFlo side-mount multiport valve — compatible 6-position VariFlo or 2-position slide valve options are available. Confirm valve compatibility with your pool professional before ordering.
