Hayward 72 sq ft ProGrid DE Filter | DE7220

Hayward DE7220 ProGrid 72 Sq Ft DE Filter System

The Hayward DE7220 ProGrid Filter System is built to deliver the highest level of filtration efficiency, durability, and performance for large pools that demand premium water clarity. Using natural diatomaceous earth (DE) media, it captures microscopic impurities down to 5 microns—creating water that sparkles with exceptional transparency. The ProGrid tank, molded from glass-reinforced co-polymer, is designed to resist corrosion, withstand high pressures, and perform flawlessly even in the harshest pool environments.

Featuring Hayward’s advanced vertical grid configuration, the DE7220 ensures even water distribution for improved DE coating and consistent filtration performance. The robust flange clamp design makes accessing the filter elements simple, while the air relief valve allows for safe and efficient air removal during startup. Internally, optimized 2-inch full-flow plumbing enhances hydraulic efficiency, lowering energy consumption and providing steady flow rates. Reliable, low-maintenance, and built for longevity, the ProGrid DE7220 exemplifies Hayward’s reputation for top-tier pool filtration.

Key Features of the Hayward DE7220 ProGrid Filter System

• High-Capacity 72 Sq Ft Vertical Grid Design: Offers expansive surface area for increased dirt-holding capacity and longer filtration cycles between cleanings—ideal for high-volume systems and commercial pool installations.

• Superior DE Media Filtration: Removes debris and impurities as small as 5 microns, ensuring your pool water remains clear, balanced, and visually pristine.

• Durable Reinforced Construction: The glass-filled co-polymer tank provides excellent resistance against chemical wear, UV exposure, and high-pressure operation, delivering long-lasting performance.

• Optimized Internal Hydraulics: Precision-engineered diffuser elbow and 2-inch plumbing reduce flow restriction, boosting circulation and helping pumps operate more efficiently.

• Simplified Maintenance Access: One-piece tamper-proof clamp allows quick opening for inspection or cleaning without disconnecting plumbing lines, saving time and labor.

• Fast Air Venting System: Integrated manual relief valve releases trapped air rapidly for smooth operation and consistent water flow across all filter grids.

• Balanced Water Distribution: Internal diffuser directs flow evenly across the DE grids to maximize filtration efficiency and extend the time between backwashing.

• Engineered for Demanding Applications: Ideal for large residential, resort, or commercial pools that require reliable filtration, high throughput, and minimal maintenance downtime.
