The Hayward ProGrid vertical-grid DE filter delivers superior water clarity, efficient flow, and large cleaning capacity for pools and spas of all types and sizes. It combines high-technology features with a service-friendly design for strong filtration value in both new pool and aftermarket installations. A durable glass-reinforced co-polymer tank handles demanding applications, including in-floor cleaning systems, and a heavy-duty tamper-proof one-piece flange clamp with self-aligning top and bottom gives quick access to internal components without disturbing piping. High-impact grid elements are designed for up-flow filtration and top-down backwashing for maximum efficiency, while integral lift handles and a uniform low-profile base make removing the grid nest fast and simple. An inlet diffuser elbow distributes unfiltered water evenly across all elements for even DE distribution, and 2-inch full-flow internal piping keeps flow resistance low. A quick quarter-turn air relief valve bleeds air fast.
