Description
Filbur’s Rectangular Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Grid FC-9885 is built for pool and spa filtration that lasts longer and performs more reliably. Sized at 18" x 16-1/2" with an offset port, this replacement DE grid fits compatible filtration systems and helps your water stay clearer with fewer backwashes.
- Reinforced center cores: Extruded PVC center cores distribute stress evenly, prevent cartridge collapse under heavy debris loading, and extend time between cleanings.
- Wider break-resistant bands: Keep pleats evenly spaced, preserve optimal flow, and reduce flutter from turbulence—supporting consistent filtration.
- End caps with integrated fittings: Molded-in fittings simplify installation and removal and eliminate the need for PAD adapters that can impede flow.
- Antimicrobial end caps: End caps are reinforced and treated to resist odor-causing bacteria and mold, while the formulation stands up to salt pools and high chlorine levels.
- Easy identification: Embossed part numbers make reordering FC-9885 straightforward, ensuring you always replace with the exact grid you need.
- Designed for DE filtration efficiency: Works with diatomaceous earth to capture fine debris, helping water stay clear and filtration to run smoothly.
- Offset port design: Optimizes flow within your specific filter housing, promoting balanced filtration and easier maintenance.
Who is this for?
This DE grid is ideal for pool and spa owners who want a durable, long-lasting replacement that preserves filtration efficiency in saltwater and high-chlorine environments. If you’re upgrading from a worn grid or rebuilding a DE filtration setup, FC-9885 delivers steady performance and reliable filtration results over time.
Benefits that matter in everyday use
