Sta-Rite System:2 Modular D.E. Filters - PLD Series

To enjoy the clearest, cleanest water in your pool, install the Sta-Rite System:2 Mod D.E. pool filter, the latest advance in diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filtration. Diatomaceous earth, a natural substance, is so fine it traps dirt and debris as small as five microns (1/10 the width of a human hair). That means body oils, suntan lotions, pollens, dust and even some bacteria are trapped in the filter, leaving behind sparkling clear, healthier water.

Sta-Rite delivers the unique benefits of D.E. filtration in a variation of their proven modular media technology. A single replaceable grid delivers water of superior quality without the complex workings of other D.E. filters. Tank and one-piece grid design make this filter virtually maintenance-free. Contemporary style and matte black finish looks attractive in any pool setting. The small diameter footprint makes the System:2 filter a perfect fit for new and retrofit installations. The interchangeable ports provide multiple plumbing options. Filter includes 2" NPT Drain ports, which are provided with reducer bushing and 1-1/2" drain plug.

Features:

  • Typical Installations – In ground pools and in ground hot tubs
  • Quality Construction – Durable two piece tank housing constructed of rugged ABS thermoplastic to ensure a long-lasting tank life
  • Easy Access – Posi-Ring closure provides safe, fast access to tank internals
  • Patented Design – The patented, innovative balanced flow design first introduced with the System 3 Mod Media filter is now available in the smaller System:2 filter, virtually maintenance-free operation for pools of all sizes. Protected by U.S. Patent Numbers 5,190,651 , 5,653,831 and 6,036,853
  • Low Maintenance – Complete media coverage combined with shallow pleats means greater dirt holding capabilities, resulting in longer filter cycles and less cleaning
  • Modular Filter Tanks – Allows for quick change of filter medias without changing the tank

**Do not use more D.E. than shown here. Mixed results with D.E. alternatives.
***Operating at this GPM will provide the longest filter cycles combined with the best and greatest dirt loading capacity.
PLD50 requires more D.E. than the PLD70 because of pre coat design and flow characteristics
