Pentair FNS Plus 48 sq ft DE Filter | EC-180008

The Pentair FNS Plus 48 sq. ft. D.E. (Diatomaceous Earth) Filter is designed to provide the highest level of filtration available for residential inground pools. While sand and cartridge filters are effective, D.E. filters remove microscopic contaminants as small as 3–5 microns—polishing your water until it reaches a diamond-like sparkle. The EC-180008 model features a professional-grade curved vertical grid design, providing a massive surface area that ensures superior filtration even during periods of heavy pool usage or high environmental debris.

Features

Micro-Micron Filtration Power: D.E. is the most effective filtration media on the market, stripping away fine silt, algae, and microscopic particles that other systems leave behind.

Curved Vertical Grid Design: Engineered to provide balanced water flow and even D.E. cake distribution across all grids, maximizing dirt-holding capacity and extending the time between backwashes.

Fiberglass-Reinforced Polypropylene Tank: This high-strength, chemical-resistant tank is UV-stabilized and built to withstand the toughest outdoor conditions and high-pressure operation for years of reliable service.

High-Flow Manual Air Relief: Includes Pentair’s specialized High Flow™ manual air relief valve and a continuous internal air relief to ensure safe operation and consistent pressure levels.

Service-Friendly Tension Clamp: The heavy-duty tension control clamp allows for quick and safe access to the internal grid assembly for seasonal deep-cleaning and inspections.

2" Bulkhead Connections: Large 2-inch plumbing unions reduce flow resistance, allowing your pool pump to operate more efficiently and move more water while consuming less energy.
