196024S | Pentair Diverter Assembly Retro Kit For Quad DE Filters

The Pentair Diverter Assembly Retro Kit 196024S is an OEM replacement part designed for Quad DE filters, improving the way diatomaceous earth (D.E.) is distributed across the filter cartridges. By redirecting water flow toward the bottom of the filter, the diverter prevents buildup at the base, ensuring an even coating of D.E. on the media. This retrofit kit replaces the standard baffle assembly on the inlet side of the filter, with the diverter positioned downward for optimal operation. The result is better water circulation inside the housing, which enhances filtration efficiency and contributes to cleaner pool water. Built to Pentair standards, the 196024S assembly provides lasting performance for reliable system operation.

Highlights

• Efficiency Enhancement: The Pentair 196024S diverter kit is engineered to boost system efficiency by correcting water flow patterns inside the Quad DE filter, reducing uneven buildup that can hinder filtration.

• Even D.E. Distribution: By rerouting incoming water to the bottom of the filter, the diverter ensures diatomaceous earth coats the cartridges evenly, maintaining steady pressure and maximizing filter surface use.

• Improved Filtration: Optimized water and debris distribution results in more effective contaminant capture, giving pool owners cleaner water clarity and more consistent filter performance over time.

• Easy Replacement: Designed as a retrofit solution, the diverter assembly replaces the original baffle on the inlet side and installs downward, providing a simple yet impactful system upgrade.

• Reliable Performance: Built as an OEM Pentair part, the diverter withstands long-term use and helps maintain a healthy filtration system, ensuring your pool remains balanced and inviting.
