Product details

The CMP V38-141 is a universal template for lining DE filter grids up into the manifold. It fits Hayward, Pentair and Jandy DE filters.

The problem it solves

Rebuilding a DE grid pack means getting every grid port to meet its opening in the manifold at the same time. Do it by hand and grids lean, ports miss and the manifold gets drawn down onto a grid that is not seated. That cracks grids, and a cracked grid puts DE straight back into the pool through the returns.

How it is used

The template holds the grids in their spacing while the manifold comes down, so the whole pack seats square. It is a reusable tool, so it stays in the truck or on the shelf for the next filter service rather than being consumed with the job.

Questions and answers

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

What does the template do?
It holds the DE grids in the right positions while you bring the manifold down onto them, so every grid port lines up with its opening.
Which filters does it work with?
It is universal and fits Hayward, Pentair and Jandy DE filters.
Do I really need one?
You can assemble a grid pack without it, but grids that go in crooked get cracked when the manifold is drawn down, and a cracked grid sends DE back into the pool. The template is far cheaper than a grid set.
Is it a one time use item?
No, it is a reusable service tool.
