Pentair Quad DE 80 Sq Ft Cartridge Pool Filter | EC-188593

Pentair Quad DE 80 Cartridge Style Pool Filter | EC-188593

The Pentair Quad DE 80 EC-188593 Cartridge Style Filter combines the superior water clarity of a traditional DE filter with the convenience and easy maintenance of a cartridge system. Featuring 80 sq. ft. of effective filter area, this innovative hybrid design uses four cartridge-style DE elements that deliver maximum debris-trapping capability with crystal-clear results. The large-capacity tank and high flow performance make it ideal for larger residential pools and spas that demand top-quality water clarity.

Unlike standard DE filters that require backwashing, the Quad DE 80 allows users to simply remove and rinse the four cartridges with a hose, saving both water and time. Its clamp-ring design allows quick, tool-free access for servicing, while the rugged, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene tank construction ensures long-lasting durability even in tough outdoor environments. Designed for hydraulic efficiency, it delivers reliable circulation while minimizing resistance across the system.

By combining DE’s unmatched clarity with cartridge-style convenience, the Pentair Quad DE 80 is a top choice for pool owners who want the cleanest water possible with simplified service and long-term performance.
