Description
The Pentair SD80 26″ Top Mount Sand Dollar Filter is built to deliver maximum performance for your pool filtration system. With a robust 26-inch thermoplastic tank and a 3.5 sq. ft. effective filtration area, it supports high flow rates up to 75 gallons per minute—making it ideal for medium to large residential pools. The one-piece tank construction provides superior durability and corrosion resistance, while the internal lateral design ensures the sand bed remains level for consistent performance and extended filter cycles. The six-position multiport valve puts filter, backwash, rinse, recirculate and other settings right at your fingertips, and the convenient combined water/sand drain speeds up service and winter prep. This filter delivers crystal-clear water while minimizing maintenance downtime.
Pro Tip
For best results, pair the SD80 with a correctly sized variable-speed pump that keeps your system flowing within the 75 GPM rating—oversizing your pump may decrease service life. Consider upgrading your skimmer suction or return lines at the same time to optimize circulation and filtration efficiency.
