Focused Rinsing + Filter Maintenance Use

• Directs hose water into a concentrated stream for rinsing filter elements.
• Connects at a hose end or compatible threaded front nozzle for convenient service use.
• Impact-resistant, rustproof polymer construction supports routine maintenance work.
• Unicel part U-NOZZLE is identified by the manufacturer as a sweeper hose nozzle.

Quick Product Summary

The Unicel U-NOZZLE Sweeper Hose Nozzle is a hose attachment for rinsing pool filter elements during maintenance. Its focused stream helps direct water where it is needed while cleaning a removed element. Choose it as a filter-cleaning accessory, and use the filter manufacturer’s cleaning instructions to determine the appropriate rinsing method.

Best For

Pool owners and service technicians looking for a simple hose-end tool for regular filter-element rinsing. It is useful when preparing a service bucket or replacing a worn cleaning nozzle, particularly when the job calls for a directed stream rather than an open hose end.

Why This Matters

• Identifying the nozzle as an external cleaning tool prevents confusion with a part installed inside a filter tank.
• A focused stream can help you direct rinse water across the areas being cleaned while following the element maker’s guidance.
• Cleaning and replacement are separate maintenance decisions: inspect the element’s condition before deciding whether rinsing is enough.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• You need a hose-end nozzle for a filter-element cleaning task.
• Your existing cleaning nozzle is damaged or no longer directs water as intended.
• Routine filter service calls for rinsing a removed element according to its manufacturer’s instructions.

Product Specifications

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Select U-NOZZLE for a compatible hose-end connection. Unicel identifies it for cleaning filter elements; that does not establish a replacement fit inside any Pentair, Hayward, Sta-Rite or other filter assembly. Check the connection on your hose or front nozzle and the filter element’s permitted cleaning method before use.

For a D.E. filter service, identify the correct replacement grid and media separately from the cleaning tool. Browse these related items only after checking your filter model and service instructions:

• D.E. filter grids
• Dicalite D.E. filter powder
• pool filters
• Unicel FS-2004 grid set

Installation / Use Notes

If the element must be removed, shut down the filter system and complete the filter manufacturer’s pressure-release procedure before opening it. Attach U-NOZZLE to a compatible hose end and rinse the removed element only as its manufacturer directs. Keep the stream at a suitable distance to avoid damaging filter media; this hose accessory does not replace the filter’s service instructions. Turn off the water before disconnecting the nozzle.

Buy with Confidence

Benchmark Pool Supply identifies maintenance accessories by their actual use so you can choose the right item for a service task. Match Unicel U-NOZZLE to the hose connection and cleaning method you need, and ask for help identifying an internal filter part if that is the repair you are making.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Unicel U-NOZZLE used for?

It is a sweeper hose nozzle that directs a concentrated stream of water for cleaning filter elements during routine maintenance.

Does U-NOZZLE install inside my D.E. filter?

No. Unicel describes it as a hose-end cleaning nozzle. It is not identified as an internal manifold or filter-grid fitting.

How does this nozzle connect?

The manufacturer lists attachment to a hose end or a compatible threaded front nozzle. Check the connection on your existing hose or nozzle before ordering.

Can I use it on every filter element?

Follow the exact filter element manufacturer’s cleaning directions. A hose nozzle should not be used with a stream or method that damages the filter media.

Will rinsing repair a damaged cartridge or D.E. grid?

No. Inspect the element during service and replace damaged components when required. Cleaning removes debris; it does not repair torn media or broken components.
