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.
The document is an owner's manual for the Hayward RG450 Series ReGenX grid element D.E. (diatomaceous earth) filter. It describes the product features, including a sunburst grid design and piston action regeneration system that extends cleaning cycles without backwashing.
The guide provides detailed instructions on pump selection, installation location, plumbing connections using 1-1/2" N.PT fittings, and electrical safety. It also outlines procedures for starting the filter, precoating with diatomite or cellulose media, normal filtration monitoring, and the specific regeneration process to clean the grid element.
