Description

The Pentair Sand Dollar SD60 Top Mount Sand Filter (SKU EC-145322) is built to deliver robust, long-lasting performance in residential pool applications. Its one-piece thermoplastic tank is engineered to resist corrosion, UV abrasion, and chemical damage, providing a durable foundation for your pool’s filtration system. With a 2.3 sq ft effective filter area and approximately 60 GPM flow capacity, this model handles moderate-sized pools while maintaining efficient turnover. The top-mounted multi-port valve puts full control within reach, and the internal design ensures even sand bed distribution to reduce channeling and extend service intervals. A combination drain port simplifies maintenance and winterizing tasks. If you’re looking for a reliable, compact sand filter without sacrificing quality, the SD60 is a strong choice.

Pro Tip

Verify your equipment pad has sufficient clearance for the ~22½″ diameter tank and allow room above the valve for operation and servicing. Use exactly ~250 lbs of #20 silica sand (or equivalent media) and select a pump that maintains system flow below the filter’s 60 GPM rating to maximize lifespan and performance. When replacing a larger filter, check that all plumbing leads into the valve port size and ensure proper base leveling and bonding per local code.

Installation Tips

High-level safety/compatibility notes only: Shut off pump power and relieve system pressure before servicing or installing. Ensure the base is level and rated for the tank plus media load. Load the correct media (≈ 250 lbs of #20 silica sand) and verify plumbing size and valve clearance. Bond and ground the filter system per local code. Do not exceed the specified maximum flow (~60 GPM). Follow the manufacturer’s backwash and winterizing instructions.
