The Pentair Quad DE 100 sq ft In-Ground Pool Filter 18594 provides the highest level of filtration out of all the filtration types available. The Quad DE 100 sq ft is capable of filtering out particulate as small as 5 microns. That's the same size as a human red blood cell. The Quad DE 100 uses a set of 4 cartridges coated in pool grade diatomaceous earth to provide filtration.The cartridge dimensions are 32.75" x 6.25" x 6.25" with a 3" center hole. The Quad DE tank is made with fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene that enhances durability and product life. It uses a hi-flow manual air relief valve that eliminates air buildup in the tank rather than having it force back through the system.

A 1-1/2" drain is used for quick drainage, and a steel tension control clamp rests securely around the tank, a brass barrel nut securely fastens each half tightly together. To remove the Quad DE lid it requires a minimum of 74" vertical clearance. Before removing the dome lid, it is suggested to backwash the filter to discharge the contaminated DE powder.

Energy Efficient
D.E. Filter systems cut energy costs by using lower pump pressure and speeds. If properly taken care of and rinsed regularly, they can significantly reduce water use. In addition to cost savings, lower pump pressure can help prolong the life of your pool pump!
Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.)
D.E. is a natural substance that captures dust, dirt and debris as small as 5 microns. A D.E. filter system removes body oils, suntan lotions, pollens, dust, and even some bacteria, making your swimming pool a healthier environment.
Low Maintenance
A D.E. Filter maximizes the useful filtration area. A larger filtration area means longer periods between each cleaning, saving you time on pool maintenance and giving you more time to relax and enjoy your pool.
