Pentair FullFloXF™ F72 High-Efficiency Fiberglass D.E. Filter with 72 SqFt Filter Area

The Pentair Tagelus® TA-100D 30-inch Top-Mount Sand Filter (Product #: EC-145240 / 145240) is a high-capacity, heavy-duty residential water filtration vessel precision-engineered to deliver maximum water polishing and flawless clarity for large inground swimming pools, pristine estate builds, and high-volume aquatic circulation setups. The massive 30.5-inch diameter filter tank is constructed using a specialized, multi-layer fiberglass winding process that forms a seamless, exceptionally durable one-piece unibody shell, providing permanent immunity to corrosive pool chemicals, heavy water scaling, and harsh outdoor weathering under continuous working pressures up to 50 PSI. Perched at the apex of the tank is a six-position, clamp-style top-mount Hi-Flow™ multiport valve featuring oversized 2-inch bulkhead ports that eliminate hydraulic bottlenecks, allowing pool builders to integrate high-efficiency circulation loops that comfortably support a powerful maximum design flow rate of up to 100 gallons per minute (GPM). Internally, a computer-optimized water distribution network utilizes a threaded top 360-degree diffuser to keep the sand bed perfectly level, forcing water uniformly downward across its extensive 4.9 square feet of effective filtration area to eliminate fluid channeling and maximize dirt-loading capacity. This highly efficient internal engineering maximizes operational runtimes between maintenance intervals, substantially saving pool owners and operators time and chemical costs by drastically reducing the frequency of manual backwashing cycles. Routine servicing and offseason winterization are simplified by a large, fast-acting combination sand-and-water drain plug assembly at the structural base of the tank unibody. The dry product weight of the Pentair Tagelus 30-inch TA-100D sand filter body standalone is approximately 47 pounds (with a packaged shipping weight of roughly 78 pounds including the 2-inch multiport valve assembly, internal laterals, and base stand, noting that full operational configuration requires an initial media charge of 600 pounds of standard #20 silica pool sand), offering pool professionals and discerning homeowners an exceptionally rugged, low-resistance, and space-saving cornerstone for elite aquatic filtration pads.
