Pentair 200 SqFt Modular Media Filter

Pentair Sta-Rite® System:2™ PLM200 200 Sq. Ft. Modular Media Filter

The Pentair Sta-Rite® System:2™ PLM200 200 Square Foot Modular Media Filter is an advanced, high-efficiency water filtration system expertly engineered to deliver pristine clarity for inground swimming pools, above-ground pools, and large residential spas. This specialized system incorporates a single, ultra-capacity modular cartridge element that utilizes advanced pleated media science to provide 200 square feet of effective filtration area. By drastically outperforming traditional pool filters in dirt-loading capacity, the PLM200 traps fine dust, pollen, and organic debris down to 20 microns while extending the operational timeline between manual cleanings up to a full season, effectively saving thousands of gallons of water by eliminating the need for routine backwashing. The rugged, low-profile tank body is split into a sleek two-piece housing injection-molded from a specialized, UV-stable and chemical-resistant thermoplastic resin, ensuring absolute structural longevity and complete immunity to corrosion under continuous working pressures up to 50 PSI. Engineered with computer-optimized, balanced internal hydraulics and heavy-duty 2-inch NPT plumbing ports, the system handles a robust maximum design flow rate of up to 100 gallons per minute (GPM) with minimal backpressure, working in flawless harmony with modern energy-saving variable speed pumps to lower monthly utility bills. Maintenance is exceptionally straightforward thanks to a quick-open top closure design that allows tool-free access to the internal media, paired with a continuous high-flow internal air relief valve, an easy-to-read top pressure gauge, and a convenient bottom drain plug for rapid winterization. The dry product weight of the Pentair System:2 PLM200 200 Sq. Ft. Modular Media Filter assembly is approximately 41 pounds (with the internal replacement core module alone weighing about 15 pounds), offering pool professionals and discerning homeowners an incredibly sturdy, compact, and low-maintenance centerpiece for elite aquatic water management pads.
