Star ™
Thermoplastic Regenerative D.E. Filter
By Pentair Pool Products ®
Diatomaceous earth (D.E.) removes particles that are so small
they are individually undetected by the human eye, but
combine to decrease water clarity. Star™ D.E. filters remove
these microscopic contaminants so your water achieves the
glass-like clarity only D.E. can deliver.
Plus, Star filters help maintain themselves. An exclusive
“pre-cleaning” feature enables the filter to dislodge trapped
dirt and D.E. particles from the filter. A few turns of a knob is
all it takes to “regenerate” the media inside the filter so it is able
to provide extended service before periodic cleaning is required.
Other key features include:
● Refined hydraulic design minimizes flow restrictions so the
least amount of pumping power produces the optimum
flow rates—for lower utility costs.
● All system components manufactured from the most durable
and maintenance-free engineered materials for years of service.
● Time-proven vertical media grids with 2-inch spacing provide
the most efficient use of D.E. per cycle—trapping more dirt
for cleaner water and longer cycle times between cleanings.
● Exclusive, rotatable grid assembly lifts out easily for any
required service.
