Star
Thermoplastic Regenerative D.E. Filter
By Pentair Pool Products
®
Diatomaceous earth (D.E.) removes particles that are so small
they are individually undetected by the human eye, but
combine to decrease water clarity. Star™ D.E. filters remove
these microscopic contaminants so your water achieves the
glass-like clarity only D.E. can deliver.
Plus, Star filters help maintain themselves. An exclusive
“pre-cleaning”
feature enables the filter to dislodge trapped
dirt and D.E. particles from the filter. A few turns of a knob is
all it takes to “regenerate” the media inside the filter so it is able
to provide extended service before periodic cleaning is required.
Other key features include:
Refined hydraulic design minimizes flow restrictions so the
least amount of pumping power produces the optimum
flow rates—for lower utility costs.
All system components manufactured from the most durable
and maintenance-free engineered materials for years of service.
Time-proven vertical media grids with 2-inch spacing provide
the most efficient use of D.E. per cycle—trapping more dirt
for cleaner water and longer cycle times between cleanings.
Exclusive, rotatable grid assembly lifts out easily for any
required service.
