Poolzilla DE Grid Replacement - Replaces DE6000, Hayward DE6020

The Poolzilla Universal Grid Set is a complete diatomaceous earth filter grid replacement kit designed to fit Hayward DE6020 and DEX6000DA systems, as well as DE filter models from American, Astral, Jandy, Pac-Fab, Pentair, and Waterway that use a seven-full-plus-one-half grid configuration. This drop-in replacement set includes everything you need to restore your DE filter to like-new performance: seven full-size grids and one partial grid, each constructed with a rigid polypropylene frame wrapped in tightly woven filter fabric that holds diatomaceous earth powder evenly across the surface. DE filtration removes particles as small as two to five microns — far finer than cartridge or sand filters can capture — which means water that's clearer, brighter, and free of the microscopic debris that causes clouding and algae blooms. Cross-referenced as Pleatco PFS3060, Unicel FS-2005, and Filbur FC-9550, this grid set slots directly into your existing manifold assembly without modifications, so you can go from a filter that's leaking DE back into your pool to one that's running clean and efficient in a single afternoon.

Inspect your DE filter grids every time you open the tank for a thorough cleaning — typically two or three times per swimming season — and plan to replace the entire set every two to three years, or immediately if you spot tears in the fabric, grid separation from the frame, or a fine white powder clouding your return jets. When your pool's pressure gauge climbs eight to ten PSI above its normal baseline reading after backwashing, it's a clear signal that the grids are loaded with debris and due for attention. Replacing worn grids is straightforward: power off the pump, drain the tank, unbolt the top, lift out the manifold with the old grids attached, slide the new Poolzilla grids onto the manifold posts, reassemble the housing, and recharge with fresh DE powder through the skimmer once the system is running. Order your replacement grid set today and tackle the swap before peak swim season so your family can enjoy water that's consistently crystal-clear from spring through fall.
