I am replacing my old Sta-Rite filter, what else besides the quad filter do I need to buy?

The only piece of equipment necessary for installation is the purchase of a valve. The valve options for the Quad D.E. Filter are listed by port size, measure your pipes to determine the best fit for you. 261173 - 1.5" Threaded Multiport Valve 261055 - 2" Threaded Multiport Valve

Which type of pool filter is the most water efficient ? Living in the drought stricken State of California , this has become a necessary consideration. Please include backwash requirements and monthly or annual maintenance.

The larger type of D.E. filters used equals the less you will need to backwash decreasing the use of water. Also, the model of the pump will decipher the energy efficiency of the motor. Less amps drawn to function equals less electricity used. In the end, having a larger filter of any model per what the pump and pool system require will be more efficient as you increase the filter square footage.

I currently have a Nautilus stainless steel tank model NS36, Serial no. 0190-805. My pool is an in-ground 24,000 gal. with dive well. Will this new unit replace and match up exactly to the current multi port valve now attached to this tank?
Does it require more or less horizontal space than the NS36 steel unit I have?
Can I just get the interior parts and keep the same stainless tank?

Hi, This unit is sufficient for a 24,000 gallon pool. However, it will not match up or use the the same valve as the NS36 filter. This unit is about 4" wider then the NS filter. You can replace the NS36 Grid Assy - 192325.

Hi Benny, When the unit was installed the inlet port may have been plumbed as the outlet and vice versa. Recheck how the filter is plumbed.

Hi, Rick. You can use one of the following valves, a. P/N 261055 - 2” Multiport Valve Kit, b. P/N 261173 - 1½” Multiport Valve Kit c. P/N 261050 - 2” HiFlow Valve Kit, d. P/N 263034 - 2” ABS Slide Valve Kit. The ABS Slide Valve Kit 2" - 263034 will provide you with the simplest operation.

Does the 261152 multi valve work for this filter ?

Would these multi-port valves cause damage to the cartridge filters? Two of the vendors wouldn't recommended because, according to them, it will cause the cartridge filters to burst and tear. They said, unless I lower the speed of the pump every time I do a backwash. Then I should be fine. On youtube, I see so many people used a backwash valve or multi port valve with no issue. I am confused !! Would you be able to shed some light on this?

Hi, Thanh. The use of a slide or multiport valve is optional with this model filter and is recommended by the manufacturer. I have not heard of that issue happening with the use of a valve. The use of a slide or multiport valve will cut your cleaning time by more than 70%.
