Regular price $219.95 Sale price$264.99

Professional-Grade Replacement for Maximum Filtration

When it comes to maintaining clear, sparkling pool water, your filter is the frontline defense. Over time, DE filter grids wear out, tear, or become coated with oils and calcium deposits that reduce performance. The Unicel FS-2005 60 Sq Ft DE Filter Grid Set is a premium-quality, full 8-piece replacement designed to restore your filter’s efficiency and give you cleaner water with less effort.

Engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards, this complete set fits Hayward, Pac-Fab, and Pentair 60 sq. ft. DE filters, making it a reliable, long-lasting choice trusted by pool owners and professionals alike.


Why Replace Your DE Filter Grids?

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters provide some of the finest filtration available—down to 2–5 microns. But the fabric-covered grids inside don’t last forever. Common signs of worn or failing grids include:

  • Cloudy water despite chemical balance

  • DE powder leaking back into the pool

  • Visible tears or cracks in the grid fabric

  • Frequent backwashing with little improvement

Replacing your grid set restores optimal filtration, saving you time, chemicals, and maintenance costs.


Benefits of the Unicel FS-2005 DE Grid Set

  • Complete 8-Piece Kit – Includes 7 full grids and 1 partial grid for full filter coverage.

  • High-Quality Construction – Made with Reemay® spunbond polyester media for durability.

  • Superior Filtration – Captures microscopic debris for crystal-clear water.

  • OEM Fit and Compatibility – Matches original manufacturer dimensions for easy installation.

  • Extended Service Life – Resists chemicals, oils, and normal wear better than cheaper alternatives.

  • Cost-Effective Upgrade – Replacing the entire set ensures balanced wear and maximum performance.


What’s Included in the Set

  • 7 Full Grids – Standard size, 11” wide each

  • 1 Partial Grid – Narrow 9.75” width for proper alignment and fit
    Together, they deliver a total filtration area of 60 square feet.


Compatible Filters

The Unicel FS-2005 fits most 60 sq. ft. DE filters, including:

  • Hayward Pro-Grid DE6020

  • Pac-Fab FNS-60

  • Pentair FNS Plus 60

  • Other 60 sq. ft. DE filter models with the same grid dimensions

Dimensions: 30” length, 11” width (full), 9.75” width (partial)


Installation & Maintenance Tips

  1. Turn Off Equipment – Always shut down pump and relieve filter pressure.

  2. Open Filter Tank – Remove manifold and old grids.

  3. Rinse Thoroughly – Clean tank interior before installing new set.

  4. Replace Grids – Insert the 7 full grids and 1 partial grid into the manifold.

  5. Reassemble & Charge – Add fresh DE powder per manufacturer guidelines.

⚠️ Pro Tip: Always replace all 8 grids together. Mixing old and new grids can cause uneven flow, poor performance, and premature wear.


Long-Term Value

At $219.95, the Unicel FS-2005 may seem like an investment, but compared to the cost of:

  • Extra chemicals to fight cloudy water

  • Frequent backwashing wasting water

  • Premature pump wear from poor circulation

…it quickly pays for itself. With proper care, a Unicel grid set typically lasts 3–5 years.
