Hayward DEP 500 Series DE Filter | DEP100

Hayward DEP100 100 Sq Ft Pleated Element DE Filter | DEP 500 Series

The Hayward DEP100 Pleated Element DE Filter delivers unmatched clarity and efficiency by combining the filtration precision of diatomaceous earth with the maintenance simplicity of a cartridge filter. Featuring Hayward’s advanced pleated element design, this 100 sq ft system removes particles as small as 2–5 microns while allowing easy rinsing or backwashing of the pleated media. The result is cleaner water, extended cleaning intervals, and lower overall maintenance. Engineered for both new installations and DE system replacements, the DEP100 offers a powerful yet user-friendly solution for modern pool filtration needs.

The DEP100 is crafted from tough, glass-filled co-polymer for superior resistance to corrosion, pressure, and UV damage. A quick-access, tamper-proof clamp enables tool-free internal servicing, while the 2-inch full-flow hydraulic design reduces energy use and enhances circulation efficiency. Its manual air relief valve allows fast, safe venting, and the integrated diffuser ensures even water distribution for balanced DE coverage. Built to meet the demands of today’s pool systems, the Hayward DEP100 delivers long-lasting durability, energy savings, and the crystal-clear water quality expected from the Hayward name.
