Upgrade your pool filtration system with the new Jandy SFSM60 24" Side-Mount Sand Pool Filter for better water clarity. Are you looking for a sand filter that is easy to install, more efficient, and that also replaces or works with most existing sand filters? Then the SFSM60 24" Sand Filter has you covered and provides advancements from previous Jandy models.
What does the Jandy SFSM60 24" Side-Mount Sand Pool Filter Do?
The SFSM60 side-mount sand filter is designed to install and fit with older residential sand filter plumbing set ups used to sit. Additionally, this filter comes with industry-standard internal plumbing and connections, making swaps or upgrades even easier.
The newly designed lid is easy to handle and open, and it also distributes pressure more evenly than previous model lids. Furthermore, the internal laterals and diffuser are designed to provide more water flow without the pressure dropping to much.
*The unions are sold separately. *

Side-mount sand filter
Four sizes, one that fits through a doorway
Jandy's side-mount sand filters come in four sizes, from 24 inches up to 37. The 35.5-inch model fits through a standard 36-inch doorway, which helps on indoor pool pads. The line is aimed at backyard pools of any size, and the SFSM60 is the 24-inch size at the small end.
Sand filter maintenance
Less guesswork on cleaning day
The pressure gauge has a clean/dirty indicator, so you backwash when the filter needs it instead of on a guess. That saves water. A single combination water and sand drain covers draining the tank and pulling sand out when it's time.

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
Does the Jandy SFSM60 sand filter need a backwash valve?
Yes. SFSM filters require a compatible Jandy backwash valve. Jandy lists a multiport valve (BWVL-MPV-75), a slide valve (BWVL-SLD-75) and a Never Lube valve (BWVL-NVL-75).
How much sand does the Jandy SFSM60 take?
Jandy's manual lists about 375 pounds for a sand-only fill. Sand density changes with moisture, so treat that as a rough number and match the freeboard distance in the manual.
What flow rate and turnover does the Jandy SFSM60 handle?
Maximum flow is 63 GPM, with a design flow rate of 20 gpm per square foot across 3.15 square feet of filter area. Jandy rates it at 22,680 gallons in six hours and 30,240 gallons in eight.
What size unions does the Jandy SFSM60 use?
The inlet and outlet take 2 inch by 2.5 inch Jandy unions. The two ports sit 7.5 inches apart, center to center.
Can the Jandy SFSM60 run something other than sand?
Yes. Jandy's manual says SFSM filters work with any NSF-approved filtration media as an alternative to sand.
