Unicel FG-1006 Replacement DE Filter Grid | 36″ | 72 Sq. Ft. Systems

Description

The Unicel FG-1006 is a single replacement DE filter grid engineered for 72 square foot diatomaceous earth filter systems from Hayward, Pentair (American Products), Pentair (Pac Fab), Sta-Rite, and Jacuzzi. At 36 inches in length with a precision open-slot collar (2 notches), this full grid is built to exact dimensional tolerances for a secure manifold fit, reliable pressure resistance, and extended service life in demanding residential pool applications.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY
This product is a single (1) replacement DE filter grid — it is NOT a complete set. A full filter service requires multiple grids. Please verify the quantity and type (full or partial) needed for your specific filter model before ordering.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Partial Grid Also Required for Most Models
Hayward, Pentair/American Products, and Pentair/Pac Fab 72 sq. ft. systems require 7 full grids + 1 partial grid for a complete re-grid. This listing is for the full grid only. Don’t forget the companion partial grid — Unicel PG-1906 Partial DE Filter Grid.

Sta-Rite and Jacuzzi Earthworks EW 72 systems use 8 full grids only — no partial grid required for those models.

Prefer to buy everything at once? The Unicel FS-2006 Complete DE Filter Grid Set includes all 8 grids needed for one full filter service.

(This is not an exhaustive list.)

Pro Tip: Always turn off the pump and release all pressure from the filter tank via the air relief valve before opening the tank to replace grids. Inspect the tank o-ring and manifold assembly during re-grid service. When measuring your existing full grid, measure the plastic frame end-to-end and exclude the top collar — compare to the 36″ length of the FG-1006 to confirm the correct fit before ordering.
