DE7220 | Hayward ProGrid DE Filter 72 sq ft

Hayward ProGrid 72 Sq Ft DE Filter System | DE7220

The Hayward ProGrid 72 Sq Ft DE Filter | DE7220 is engineered to deliver industry-leading water clarity, high flow rates, and superior filtration capacity for large residential and commercial pools. Utilizing diatomaceous earth (DE) media, the ProGrid system provides microscopic filtration that captures particles as small as 5 microns, ensuring pristine, crystal-clear water. Built from glass-reinforced co-polymer, the DE7220 tank is designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity—ideal for pools operating under demanding conditions or equipped with in-floor cleaning systems.

This professional-grade filter features Hayward’s vertical grid design, which maximizes cleaning efficiency and ensures even DE distribution throughout the filter elements. A heavy-duty, tamper-proof flange clamp allows for easy internal access without disturbing plumbing, while the high-capacity air relief valve provides quick, controlled venting of trapped air. The ProGrid’s low-resistance internal piping and precision-engineered diffuser elbow improve hydraulic performance, reducing energy consumption and maintaining consistent flow rates. Designed with serviceability and reliability in mind, the DE7220 combines advanced engineering with the durability expected from Hayward’s premium filtration line.

Note: You may require a backwash valve for this filter which is Not Included and can be purchased separately
