Pleatco Pro-Grid & Micro Clear 60 Sq Ft Pool Filter Replacement Grid Set - 8 Grids Total

As advertised

I've been having DE powder spewn into my pool for the last two seasons before deciding to replace the grids. After looking and seeing prices from here to $140-400+. I took the chance and went with these. My pool was cloudy and was taking a long time to clear up. I put these in along with 7.5 lbs of powder and it was crystal clear the next day with no additional chemicals. See pics with old grids which were breaking down and dirty vs new ones. Ensure to have two people to swap the grids as it's significantly easier. I swapped one at a time while the other held the other grids in place because it can be a puzzle putting it back. Also, take pictures before doing anything Incase they fall it'll make it easier.

This was a great replacement at a price that did not seem outrageous. Quality seems as good as the ones I was replacing. I will get these again when the time comes for another replacement

I was a little worried that these would be a cheap knockoff or would not fit my Pentair FNS 60 filter, but these were perfect and seem very well made. The pressure is back to low and the water is clear.

Hayward DE6020. Fits perfectly. I found the easiest way to install these wast to pull the whole filter assembly out of the tank. First, I removed the old damaged grids (no sense in trying to lift a bundle of filthy, wet grids all at once). Then, I remove the upper and lower manifolds. I carefully removed the new grids out of the box and cut the box down one corner so that I could spread it out on the ground for a clean work surface. Then I assembled it upside down, i.e. top manifold upside down on the cardboard. Fit all the grids in the holes on the manifold, then carefully place the bottom manifold on it while threading the long bolt through the top manifold hole. Aligned all the grids properly so they are all straight and not touching. Then I tipped the hole thing sideways at an angle while holding it and placed the washer and nut on the long bolt. For mine, I needed a pair of channel locks (pliers) and one 1/2” open end wrench to tighten the nut on the long bolt. Since the assembly is light weight (because it’s not wet), I was easily able to pick up the whole thing, flip it over, and place it into the filter tank. Putting the filter grid assembly together probably took about 10 minutes. Besides the acts of opening the filter, then later filling the bottom 1/2 with water and securing the top back on, it didn’t take long to do this whole job.The water return jets in the pool are blasting out water at high pressure again, the filter pressure is low again, and the water is crystal clear.The materials and construction seemed identical to the Hayward grids these replaced (at about 1/2 the price at the time of this writing).Totally worth the money! I’d definitely buy again.

The product met our needs to fix our DE filter.

...but by the time I know how long it lasts, I'll have forgotten about reviewing it.These filter grids fit fine and are working as they should. Pool water is perfectly clear. I'm happy. If they fail and start to leak I'll come back and complain, but so far so good.It feels strange to write a glowing review merely because a product works properly, but I guess that's Life in the 21st Century.

These are not Hayward brand but when I was comparing prices the local pool store said this brand was all they use because they are the best ones. They fit fine. It's hard to compare to the originals because mine were 7 years old and not in very good shape. After putting them in the pump runs great and the pressure is back down to normal. After a few hours of filtering the pool looks great.Some advice on install. I've disassembled my filter before and I still forgot a few points. First, there is only one small grid. All the others are the same size. The manifold on the top should say were the small one goes. Take notice of where the baseplate is positioned. The gap in the baseplate lines up with the manifold drop tube on the top. Just take a look before you take it apart so you can see how the top and bottom line up. Also note how the grids sit in the baseplate and how they line up with the little tabs. This is very important, assemble the grids upside down. That means put the manifold on a flat soft surface upside down and put the grids on it first then drop the baseplate straight down on top. You will never get the manifold on right side up.It's a good idea to replace the o-ring at the manifold if you haven't done that in a while and I also ordered a new nut that holds the manifold to the baseplate rod. Those corrode and should be replaced, especially in a salt pool. Overall pretty easy. Just take your time and look before you leap!
