QUAD D.E.
®
Cartridge Style D.E. Filter Installation and User’s Guide
INTRODUCTION
Filter Overview
Diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filters have always been
recognized for providing the cleanest pool water. And
cartridge filters are popular for their convenience and
easy-cleaning features. Now, Pentair has found a way
to bring you the best of both.
The new Quad D.E.
®
Cartridge Style Filter features
four easily accessible and removable cartridges. When
water passes through these cartridges, microscopic
impurities like dirt, algae, and some forms of bacteria
are filtered out, giving you water that really sparkles.
The four-cartridge design greatly increases the filter’s
internal surface area, meaning much greater cleaning
capacity per cycle without an increase in canister size.
And cleaning couldn’t be easier. In fact, you have three
options...backwash and recharge like a traditional D.E.
filter, remove and rinse off the cartridges, or simply
remove the lid, leave the cartridges in place, open the
drain plug, and rinse.
You’ll even save money – water flows through the
Quad D.E. so efficiently that with the correct pump you
use less energy.
The Quad D.E. combination of diatomaceous earth
(D.E.) in a convenient cartridge design means better
performance and longer periods between cleanings.
Because D.E. removes the tiniest of contaminants –
particles as small as five microns – you can count on
clean, crystal-clear water for years to come.
General Features
• Four (4) easily removable, large-capacity cartridges
provide maximum filter surface area for greater
dirt-trapping capacity and longer periods between
cleanings.
• Unique internal flow path ensures optimum filtration
and backwashing efficiency.
• Chemical resistant, fiberglass reinforced polypropylene
tank for exceptional strength and long life.
• 2” plumbing connections for simple and secure
maximum flow.
• Conveniently located 2” drain for easy and efficient
clean-out and 100% draining.
• High Flow™ Manual Air Relief Valve and continuous
internal air relief work together to maintain efficient
filtration and prevent over-pressurization.
• Durable 8 oz. polypropylene cartridge media has
superslick surfaces, making them easier to clean than
conventional cartridge filters.
Maintaining the Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge is the primary indicator of how the
system operates. It is critical to keep the pressure gauge
in good condition.
Replace pressure gauge (P/N 190059) if any of the
requirements below are not met:
1. Pressure gauge at zero (0) when pressure is
relieved and system is turned off.
2. Pressure gauge reads correctly while system is in
operation.
3. The pressure gauge is readable and not damaged in
any way.
Pressure Tests
When performing hydrostatic pressure tests or when
testing for external leaks of the completed filtration and
plumbing system, ensure that the Maximum Pressure
that the filtration system will be subjected to DOES NOT
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF
ANY OF THE COMPONENTS CONTAINED WITHIN
THE SYSTEM.
In most cases, the maximum pressure will be stated on
each component of the system. If doubt exists as to the
pressure to which the system will be subjected, install an
ASME approved automatic Pressure Relief or Pressure
Regulator in the circulation system set to the lowest
working pressure of all of the components in the system.
THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
Never subject this filter to pressure in excess of
the maximum pressure - even when conducting
hydrostatic pressure tests. Pressures above
the maximum psi pressure can cause the lid to
separate, which can result in severe injury, death
or property damage.
