Unicel 24 in., 48 Sq. Ft. DE Grid, FG-1248

The Unicel FG-1248 is a vertical DE filter grid in the Purex style, rated at 48 square feet of filter area. It measures 10-3/4 in. across by 25-3/8 in. tall and is listed under the 24 in. grid size.

What the grid does

Grids stack inside the assembly of a DE filter. Each one is a fabric covered frame, and the diatomaceous earth coat that clings to that fabric is what actually filters the water. When the fabric tears or the frame cracks, DE blows straight through into the pool and the filter stops behaving the way it should.

Check the size first

Grid sizes vary within a filter family, so measure the grid you are pulling out against the 10-3/4 in. by 25-3/8 in. dimensions rather than ordering from the filter model alone. This grid is listed with the Purex 2000 Series stainless DE filters and the Purex 4000 Series molded DE filters.
