Review: Works great - This required minimal assembling and hooked up to pipes and worked great Review: Fantastic filter - My pool is surrounded by trees and last year the sand filter gave up the ghost scattering sand in the pool necessitating a replacement. I searched pool forums for recommendations and this one was mentioned again and again. My local pool store, did not really seem to understand this hybrid cartridge and de filter and were against me getting it saying it would be overwhelmed by my pool location and it would need constant cleaning. Professionals on pool forums disagreed with the local pool guys so I went ahead anyway Now I was late closing the pool last year and it was closed with a ton of leaves on the bottom and was basically a slimy, smelly green pond when it was opened this year. The pool company gave up on it saying I would need to drain it . So, I scooped up net after net of leaves, ran my Dolphin robotic cleaner and threw bleach into it for days before firing up the new filter. Once I'd got rid of the phosphates using revive spray the chlorine went to work and so did the filter. Yes, the filter did clog up within an hour or two of use - it reached the pressure where cleaning was recommended so I backwashed it using the Pentair multiport valve, rinsed it and added a couple of pounds of de and started again. Repeated this twice more and then took apart filter to clean heavily clogged filter. Did this cycle once more by which time pool was crystal clear and I swear it looks clearer than when the sand filter was in use. Since the initial problems my pool created the filter has been rock solid and is still in the middle of the pressure levels on the gauge and has remained that way for weeks. The filter is not too hard to clean just remember to release the pressure in the filter by turning the release on the top and release the pressure in the pump and remove the clamp. It is easy enough to remove the clamp but make sure you use a socket for ease of use (preferably a deep one but regular depth works okay with a bit of fiddling) or a good ring wrench as the nut is brass and an adjustable will round off the edges in no time. It is somewhat fiddly to replace the clamp but is a one person job. The cartridges remove easily and I hose them down on the edge of the lawn with a regular hose but wear old clothes as the spray will get you if yours get as dirty as mine did.. The drain plug is large and is not too hard to get off and on. It is very easy to clean inside.. Firing it up is easy - keeping the pressure valve on top open till water comes out in under 30 seconds and then add de via the skimmer within three minutes. I have a large bucket I use to premix the de and water solution to a milk-like consistency before starting the pump and filter. I could not recommend the Pentair Quad DE filter more highly. Easy to use with the finest particle filtration and I do not have to mess with sand ever again which is a big plus. Sorry for the long post but I find it hard to get info sometimes especially if you have cut your pool store more-or-less loose. One last thing - I found my local Lowe's has 24 lbs of DE for $20 which is half what my pool store charges but this may not be available everywhere Having used the filter for 6 weeks I am still very happy with it and I still think it gives the best looking water I have ever had in the pool ## Features - IN-GROUND POOL FILTER TANK: Type D.E corrosion-resistant fiberglass in-ground swimming pool filter tank with a flow rate of 160 GPM; compatible with valve models 261173, 263079, 261049, 261050, 261055, and 263064 (valve not included) - MAXIMUM FILTER SURFACE AREA: Able to hold 4 large-capacity cartridges, this filter has a maximum filter surface area for more cleaning capacity and cartridge longevity - DURABLE MATERIAL: Fiberglass reinforced polypropylene tank is chemical-resistant and boasts exceptional strength and long life - MAXIMUM FLOW EFFICIENCY: Internal design minimizes flow restrictions requiring minimal pumping power for lower utility costs; manual and continuous air relief valves maintain efficient filtration - CONVENIENT MAINTENACE: Easily removable cartridge units and 1.5-inch drain make maintenance a breeze ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08MWXMSF3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #782,892 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #2,038 in Cartridge Pool Filters | | Brand | Pentair | | Brand Name | Pentair | | Color | Pentair 188593 160GPM 80 Square Foot In Ground Swimming Pool Quad DE Cartridge Fiberglass Reinforced Chemical Resistant Filter Tank Color Pentair 188593 160GPM 80 Square Foot In Ground Swimming Pool Quad DE Cartridge Fiberglass Reinforced Chemical Resistant Filter Tank See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | | Included Components | Filter Cartridge | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Type Name | Pentair 188593 160GPM 80 Square Foot In Ground Swimming Pool Quad DE Cartridge Fiberglass Reinforced Chemical Resistant Filter Tank | | Manufacturer | Pentair | | Manufacturer Part Number | EC-188593 | | Material | Fiberglass | | Material Type | Fiberglass | | Model Number | EC-188593 | | Required Assembly | No | | Shape | Rectangular | | UPC | 788379500610 | | Unit Count | 4.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pentair - **Material:** Fiberglass - **Shape:** Rectangular - **Unit Count:** 4.0 Count ## Images ![Pentair D.E.

So bad that I submitted photos to Amazon. Initailly Pentair wanted to blame the delivery company. Pentair did replace all parts in a professional manner. My 25 yr old pool is now the cleanest it has ever been, it almost looks like their is no water in the pool..........amazing. My old DE Pentair was not near as efficient as this unit. My Baracuda pool cleaner is now working at lower speeds, with the old filter is would not. I had to take apart the inside of the unit and the filters are of excellent quality, at least compared to my old Pentair. I bought the Pentair push/pull discharge valve and this really helped in the setup, plus it is soooooooooooo easy to work. My pool is 19,000 gallons and I bought a unit that was rated for a higher pool capacity. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair D.E.
