Product details
The Unicel FG-1236 is a vertical DE filter grid rated at 36 sq ft, for Purex DE filters. It measures 10-3/4 in. by 19-3/8 in. and belongs to the 18 in. tall grid family, so measure the grid you are replacing before you order.
Where it fits
It covers the Purex 2000 Series stainless DE filters, models SMBW 2024, 2036, 2048, 2060 and 2072 along with the 1018, 1027, 1036, 1045 and 1054 models, and the Purex 4000 Series molded DE filters in SM and SMBW models 4024, 4036 and 4048.
One grid or the set
This listing is a single grid. Grids tend to fail together, since they share the same age and the same backwash cycles, and DE returning to the pool through the returns is the symptom. If more than one is torn, the complete 36 sq ft grid set is usually the better call.
