Time to Replace Your DE Grids?
Our DE Grids are used on the most common pool filters including American Products®, Pentair®, Hayward® & Pac-Fab®. Most DE Filters will require 7 Full Grids and 1 Partial Grid. Typically DE grids last about 5 years so if it has been longer than 5 years then now is the time to replace your DE grids.
Things to Consider When Replacing Your DE Grids
Note: Collar has open slot (2 notches). Length is measured from one end of the grid to the other (collar not included).

how many full Hayward de filter grids do i need 11 1/2" , 7 ? do i need a partial grid also 9 1/2" ?
Reply
Hayward DE filters will require 7 Full girds and 1 Partial grid. If you have a 60sq ft. filter you would need 7 of the FG1005 and 1 of the PG1905. If you need to get the whole set you can get the FG1005PACK.

Which grids do I need for a Nautilus NS 36?

Hi Tom, Here is the Complete Nautilus NS36 Grid Assembly you would require. If you only require the DE Grids then the FG1003PACK DE Grid Pack is what you would need.

can you cross reference a Purex D. E. Filter Grid. Model # SMBW 2060 filter area is 60 sq ft

Hi Teresa, The 30" Purex Grid (074925) would be the correct grid(s) for the SMBW 2060 DE Filter.

The pressure was increasing past 30 shortly after turning the pump on. The current filters looked ok but after i replaced them the pressure was steady at 13. Inyo says it takes 7 filters but the correct number is 8. They dont give you the shorter one near the inlet

1. First I checked the Inyo online forums and videos. That confirmed that the problem was probably a torn filter grid cover.
2. Also using the Inyo video guides, I dismantled the DE filter and found a small tear on the edge of one grid. Ordered a replacement grid AND the body O-ring, which was also worn.
3. Replaced the leaking grid, again after watching a video linked to INYO. This is a tedious process with a Hayward filter, no way to speed make it easy, unless Hayword or INYO could make a template to hold the grids in place while reattaching the upper manifold.
4. Lubes the O-ring, reassembled the filter and loaded the filter with DE. It all rem,ained in the filter. No more leaks!
