Sta-rite is known in the market as the brand acquired by Pentair that offers such quality pool filters as the Sta-Rite DE Filter 48 SF System 2 PLDE48 and the Sta-Rite Modular Media Filter 150 SF System 2 PLM150. However, the STA-RITE D.E. FILTER is still a known innovation of the brand in bringing to consumers the best kind of diatomaceous earth media in the easiest-to-operate filter.

What people can expect from the STA-RITE DE FILTER technology include: greater cycle times with minimized maintenance; a superior grid system that gives you the finest D.E. filter available; and a durable two-piece tank housing constructed of Dura-Glas™, giving it a glass-reinforced composite resin that's unseen in the market.

Regardless of the promises offered by Sta-Rite as a brand, standard wear and tear issues may soon render the DE filter unusable. You can prevent that by considering the repair parts you can find in this category as the genuine replacements you will need to get them right back up running again.

The first component in this category you may soon need replacing is the: 22-111 VAL-PAK HEAVY DUTY ELEMENT RETAIN ROD SS DES/DEP. Without this key component, the Posi-Lok™ clamps of this filter cannot provide easy access to the filter's tank internals.

The next item you may need to replace is V20-666 VAL-PAK HEAVY DUTY 1/4 SS WING NUT STAINLESS STEEL. With the help of this component, the 2 in. plumbing throughout the Sta-Rite's exclusive rectangular grid system can level up the D.E. Filtration limits.

The S8D110 Pentair SYSTEM 3 FILTER DE 53 SQFT SD SERIES is another vital component we included in this category. The Dual Drain Plugs – Side plug assembly in the DE filter will not work properly without this vital component, which is included in the 1-1/2 in. NPT port that the filter's discharge plumbing uses.
