Product overview

Center Rod for BW2048 and BW4048 Filters, Compatible with Pentair — an aftermarket tension rod dimensioned to drop into Pentair filtration systems without modification. In service it holds the internal filter assembly in compression so elements stay seated. Replacement is routine: threads corrode and the rod stretches, letting elements shift and bypass.
