Pentair System:2™ PLM Series 200 Sq Ft Modular Media Filter
The Pentair System:2™ PLM Series 200 Sq Ft Modular Media Filter (PLM200) is the larger companion to the PLM150 — 200 sq ft of modular media filtration in the same ultra-compact low-profile design.

Rated for 125 GPM and pools up to 72,000 gallons (8-hour turnover).
Four modular media elements with complete coverage and shallow pleats for maximum dirt-holding capacity and longer filter cycles. Only 27.75 inches tall — the most compact filter design for 200 sq ft capacity. Interchangeable 2-inch NPT ports, matte black fiberglass tank, 6-inch side clearance required. ANSI Standard 50 certified. Backed by a 1-year warranty.
