Filter is a premier, heavy-duty commercial-grade filtration system engineered to deliver unrivaled water clarity for large residential and commercial swimming pools and heavy-use spas. \u003cspan class=\"citation-107 citation-end-107\"\u003eThis innovative system seamlessly fuses the unparalleled, microscopic polishing power of Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) with the low-maintenance, high-flow benefits of modular media technology.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-106 citation-end-106\"\u003eSplitting away from traditional multi-grid D.E. configurations that require complex internal breakdown for cleaning, the S7MD60 utilizes a dual-concentric modular cartridge matrix that can be easily hosed down right in place, radically simplifying routine maintenance.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The extra-large tank body is injection-molded from a proprietary fiberglass-reinforced composite material, forming a rugged, UV-protected unibody housing designed to comfortably withstand decades of intense chemical exposure, extreme weather, and continuous operating pressures up to 50 PSI. Its balanced, computer-optimized internal hydraulics deliver an exceptionally uniform fluid distribution across its 60 square feet of effective filtration area, trapping algae, dust, and organic contaminants down to 5 microns while supporting a maximum residential design flow rate of up to 120 gallons per minute (GPM). This efficient internal design allows the filter to work in perfect harmony with energy-saving variable speed pumps, reducing overall system backpressure to drastically extend the runtime between necessary cleanings. It features oversized 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) side bulkhead ports for maximum installation flexibility, enabling direct connection with high-flow multi-port backwash manifolds or slide valves. The dry product weight of the Pentair System:3 PLD Series 60 Sq. Ft. Modular D.E.
