Product details

The Unicel FG-1248 is a vertical DE filter grid in the Purex style, rated at 48 square feet of filter area. It measures 10-3/4 in. across by 25-3/8 in. tall and is listed under the 24 in. grid size.

What the grid does

Grids stack inside the assembly of a DE filter. Each one is a fabric covered frame, and the diatomaceous earth coat that clings to that fabric is what actually filters the water. When the fabric tears or the frame cracks, DE blows straight through into the pool and the filter stops behaving the way it should.

Check the size first

Grid sizes vary within a filter family, so measure the grid you are pulling out against the 10-3/4 in. by 25-3/8 in. dimensions rather than ordering from the filter model alone. This grid is listed with the Purex 2000 Series stainless DE filters and the Purex 4000 Series molded DE filters.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What size is this grid?
It measures 10-3/4 in. wide by 25-3/8 in. tall and carries 48 sq ft of filter area. It is catalogued under the 24 in. grid size, so measure your old grid against those dimensions before ordering.
Which filters is it listed for?
The Purex 2000 Series stainless DE filters, SMBW models 2024 through 2072 and 1018 through 1054, and the Purex 4000 Series molded DE filters, SM and SMBW models 4024, 4036 and 4048.
Is this one grid or a full set?
One grid. A DE filter uses a set of grids in its assembly, so check how many your filter takes and order accordingly.
How do I know a grid has failed?
DE coming back into the pool, a filter that will not hold pressure, or short cycles between cleanings. Pull the assembly and look for torn fabric or a cracked frame.
