Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 60 sq ft Quad D.E. compare to the 80 sq ft (188593) and 100 sq ft (188594)?
All three are Pentair Quad D.E. cartridge-style filters with the same design and 2-year warranty. The 60 sq ft is the entry model — most compact at 70 lb with 6 lb D.E. charge and 120 GPM. The 80 sq ft (73 lb / 8 lb D.E. / 160 GPM) and 100 sq ft (83 lb / 10 lb D.E. / 160 GPM) offer more filter area for larger pools or longer cleaning intervals. Choose the 60 sq ft for smaller pools or where the most compact Quad D.E. is preferred.
