HAYWARD RG450 User Manual
The ReGenX model RG450 is a high performance swimming pool filter with
a maximum flow rating of 2,700 gallons (10.2 KL) per hour. Manufactured
from Hayward’s exclusive PermaGlassXL™material, ReGenX is designed to
provide years of trouble-free operation.
FEATURES
Patent pending sunburst grid design ensures a balanced flow of water
through your filter.
Exclusive piston action regeneration instantly purges the grids of dirt and
debris—extending the cleaning cycle of the filter.
New glass reinforced, non-corrosive PermaGlassXL™ filter tank will
provide years of trouble-free operation.
Easy-Lok
™
ring design allows quick access to all internal components.
Unique safety latch prevents unwanted entry into the tank.
Self-venting design automatically purges any air present in the
system.
PUMP SELECTION
To power your ReGenX filter, select a
continuous duty pump designed for
above-ground pools, such as the
Power-Flo™ LX. As a general guide,
choose a pump with an average output
rating of at least 40-50 gallons (151-189
Liters) per minute. A flow controller is
furnished with each unit to ensure a
hydraulic balance which maximizes
performance of the filter system.
FILTER LOCATION
Though the filter is designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to
protect electrical components from the weather. Select a well-drained
area, one that will not flood when it rains.
For best pump performance, locate the system below the swimming
pool water line. If the system must be located above the pool water
line, it can be raised as high as 2 feet (0.61 m) above the pool water
line. (NOTE: PRIMING WILL TAKE LONGER AS PUMP IS RAISED HIGHER
ABOVE WATER LEVEL.)
Set the filter and pump on firm, level ground. Position the tank for easy
access to the internals, pressure gauge and piston knob, with at least
24” (61 cm) of top clearance in order to regenerate properly. Position
the filter so that it may drain by gravity.
PLUMBING
Use 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” I.D. flexible plastic pipe, or hose, joined with
insert fittings and stainless steel clamps. If rigid PVC is used, be sure
to provide unions for easy servicing.
All plumbing connections on the RG450 filter are 1-1/2” N.P.T. When
making connections, use plastic male-end adapters. Apply three turns
of Teflon tape or plastic pipe sealant to the male threads. Screw the
fitting into the threads hand tight; then, using wrench, tighten one more
full turn if necessary. Adapters have varying tolerances and
overtightening with a wrench may only cause damage to the filter.
Refer to the diagrams for suggested valving. Ball-type valves are
recommended where needed.
Securely hand tighten the union nut between the filter and pump.
Connect the pool suction plumbing between the skimmer, pool
outlet, and pump.
Connect the pool return (inlet) plumbing.
A filter drain valve or plug is furnished with each filter and is all that is
needed for complete filter draining. A manual air vent valve is
furnished to aid in the bleeding of unwanted air when starting or
draining the filter.
All electrical connections should be made in accordance with local
codes.
Refer to pump instruction book for pump information.

NOTE: ANSI/NSPI-4 Article V, standard for above-ground and
on-ground pools, advises that components such as the filtration system,
pumps and heater be positioned so as to prevent their being used as a
means of access to the pool by young children.
