Sand Filters

What is the difference between the Hayward top mount 24" (# S244T) and the Pentair SD-60 (#145322)?  The flow rates and filtration areas appear to be similiar , but the Pentair is priced a $100 higher

Hello Mark - There really isn’t much of a difference as far as quality. The design of a sand filter is very basic. I would lean towards the Hayward because it’s slightly larger and it’s cheaper.
