When it comes time to replace the grids on your D.E. filter it may have been years. In that time key information like owner’s manuals could have been lost. The unit tag information may have become worn and unreadable, making it difficult to determine the size and type you need.

maotulua - Good observation. This seems to work on the subset of grids I looked at.Reply

The easiest way to find out the grid's size is to multiply the grid's length by 2 and we"ll get it's size in Sq. Ft. (18 ->> 36 sq ft, 30 ->> 60 Sq Ft, etc etc)Reply

learning - By some rough numbers, looks like you would count both sides of the grid in your measurements. This would make sense because the water would be coming through both sides to get filtered. Here's my rough math for a 36 sq ft filter with ~8 panels 1.5' long and 1.5'(18") wide on the curve. 1.5 *1.5 is 2.25 sq ft times 2 sides = 4.5 sq ft times 8 panels = 36 sq ft. I had to assume a slightly wider panel than you did and also 8 full panels to get to 36 sq ft, but it is clear that I had to assume both sides had to be counted to get close to the advertised 36 sq ft.Reply

not clear on the sizing.. the grids have two sides.. does only one side get measured. For instance my grid measures approx. 15 around the curve and is 36 tall.. so is the sq ft 1.25 *3 or so you double it for the inside curve? I have 8 units thus 8 times what ever the answer is.Reply
