Pentair 24" Triton® II Side Mount Filter TR 60 Almond

Pentair Triton® II Side Mount Sand Filter TR60 (Almond)

The Pentair Triton® II TR60 is a premier, high-performance 24-inch side-mount sand filtration system expertly engineered to deliver exceptional water clarity for medium-to-large residential swimming pools. Featuring a classic, clean almond finish, this heavy-duty tank is constructed utilizing Pentair’s proprietary Glaslok™ process, which creates a seamless, one-piece fiberglass-reinforced unibody shell with an advanced UV-resistant coating designed to prevent weathering, structural cracking, and chemical degradation over decades of intense outdoor exposure. The side-mount configuration features pre-engineered bulkhead ports and is typically shipped without an attached valve body, providing pool professionals with maximum flexibility to connect specialized 1.5-inch or 2-inch multi-port high-flow valves or slide valve plumbing arrays. Internally, the TR60 features an advanced heavy-duty lateral grid and a specialized swing-away water diffuser system that ensures uniform water distribution across its 3.14 square feet of effective filtration area, optimizing dirt-trapping efficiency and comfortably supporting a design flow rate of up to 63 gallons per minute (GPM). This balanced internal hydraulic flow profile keeps the sand bed perfectly level, which drastically extends the duration of filtration cycles and minimizes backwash frequency to conserve thousands of gallons of treated pool water over time. The unit is equipped with a heavy-duty threaded top closure with a built-in manual air relief valve for easy, tool-free access and sand bed inspections, alongside a combined sand-and-water bottom drain that simplifies winterization and media changes. The dry shipping weight of the Pentair Triton II TR60 filter tank body is approximately 44 pounds (noting that full operational deployment requires an additional 325 pounds of specialized pool silica sand, or a combination of 250 pounds of sand and 75 pounds of pea gravel), standing as an incredibly rugged, reliable, and hydraulically efficient core for premium residential pool filtration networks.
