This heavy-duty tank is manufactured using Pentair’s proprietary Glaslok™ process, which creates a seamless, one-piece fiberglass-reinforced unibody shell with an advanced UV-resistant surface finish designed to eliminate weathering, structural cracking, and chemical degradation under decades of continuous outdoor exposure. Shipped with open side-mount bulkhead ports and without an attached multi-port backwash valve body, the EC-140210 provides pool builders and facility operators with complete flexibility to pair the unit with specialized 1.5-inch or 2-inch multiport or slide valve plumbing arrays. Internally, the filter features a heavy-duty lateral grid and an integrated water diffuser system that ensures highly uniform water distribution across its expansive 4.91 square feet of effective filtration area, comfortably supporting a residential design flow rate of 74 gallons per minute (GPM) at a maximum operating pressure of 50 PSI. This balanced internal hydraulic flow profile keeps the deep sand bed perfectly flat, maximizing particle-trapping efficiency while substantially extending filtration cycles and reducing required backwash frequency to conserve thousands of gallons of treated water. Routine servicing is simplified by a rugged, threaded 8-inch top closure with a built-in manual air relief valve and pressure gauge for tool-free interior access, alongside a specialized combination sand-and-water bottom drain that facilitates rapid winterization and media changes. The dry weight of the Pentair Triton II EC-140210 filter tank body is approximately \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1863\"\u003e65 pounds\u003c\/b\u003e (with a boxed shipping weight of roughly 72 pounds, noting that full operational deployment requires an initial charge of 600 pounds of standard pool silica sand, or a combination of 450 pounds of sand and 150 pounds of pea gravel), providing pool owners with a structurally rugged, hydraulically efficient, and low-maintenance core for advanced water management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53158333481071,"sku":"EC-140210","price":2819.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/140315__50613_00ff4b9c-5f80-4a1b-8422-dd1cedabab4f.jpg?v=1779810222","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/pentair-30-triton%c2%ae-ii-side-mount-filter-ec-140210","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
