Hayward ProGrid 60 Sq Ft DE Filter | W3DE6020

Hayward ProGrid 60 Sq Ft DE Pool Filter System | W3DE6020

The Hayward ProGrid 60 Sq Ft DE Pool Filter System | W3DE6020 delivers unmatched water clarity through advanced diatomaceous earth (DE) filtration technology. Designed for large residential and commercial pools, it combines exceptional hydraulic efficiency with long-lasting durability. Its expansive 60 square foot filtration area enables superior debris capture, removing impurities as small as 5 microns for brilliantly clear and inviting water. Constructed from heavy-duty, glass-reinforced co-polymer, the W3DE6020 is built to resist corrosion, high pressure, and chemical exposure, ensuring years of reliable service under the harshest conditions.

This ProGrid model features Hayward’s vertical grid design, optimizing internal water flow for reduced resistance and maximum filtration efficiency. Maintenance is simplified through a heavy-duty, tamper-proof one-piece flange clamp that allows quick access to internal components without disturbing the plumbing. The rapid-release air relief valve and integrated pressure gauge provide straightforward monitoring and operation, while the top-down backwashing system ensures even DE distribution for consistent results. Engineered for precision, strength, and ease of service, the Hayward W3DE6020 stands as a trusted standard for pool owners and professionals seeking high-capacity filtration and reliable performance.

Note: You may require a backwash valve for this filter which is Not Included and can be purchased separately
