Description
The Pentair Sand Dollar SD35 is engineered for compact performance. With a modest 1.4 sq. ft media bed and ~35 GPM capacity, it’s well‑matched to small or aboveground pool systems. The one‑piece thermoplastic shell is both durable and lightweight. The clamp‑style top‑mounted multiport valve handles all key filter modes—filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate, closed—with integrated manual air relief and pressure gauge. Inside, a specialized lateral system ensures water flows evenly through the media for efficient filtration and longer service intervals. A combined drain port accelerates servicing and winterizing. This filter offers reliable operation in a small footprint.
Pro Tip
Backwash when the pressure climbs ~8–10 psi above the clean reading. Use a pump matched to ≤ 35 GPM to maintain system balance.
