Product details

The Pentair 178654Z is the genuine replacement cartridge for the Quad DE 60 pool and spa filter. Each element is 15 square feet and measures 6-1/4 in. in diameter by 20-3/4 in. long.

How the Quad DE works

Rather than fabric grids, the Quad filter uses cartridges coated in DE. Four of these elements fill the tank, and together they give the filter its 60 square feet of area. The top and bottom end caps are open with molded gaskets and a 3 in. inside diameter, which is what seats and seals each cartridge in the tank.

What is inside

The element is built with 8 ounce DE filter media in 42 straight, evenly spaced pleats, over a reinforced PVC center core drilled with evenly spaced holes so water distributes across the whole length. Polyurethane end caps hold it all square and take the clamping load.

Change the set together. Four cartridges share the work, so leaving one worn element in the tank puts the pressure back up and shortens the run you just paid for.

Questions and answers

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

How many cartridges does a Quad DE 60 take?
Four. Each cartridge is 15 square feet, which is how the filter reaches its 60 square foot rating.
What are the dimensions?
6-1/4 in. diameter by 20-3/4 in. long, with open end caps that have molded gaskets and a 3 in. inside diameter.
Is this a genuine Pentair cartridge?
Yes. It is the Pentair OEM part, number 178654Z, made to the original specification.
Should I change all four at once?
Yes. The four elements share the load, so a full set keeps the DE coat even and avoids one tired cartridge dragging the pressure up.
