Best For: Ideal Pool Types & Conditions
This grid assembly is best for pool owners running a Pentair FNS Plus 60 DE filter who want to restore like-new filtration performance. It’s ideal for residential pools that demand crystal-clear water and fine-particle removal, especially in dusty or high-debris environments. If your filter pressure rises quickly after cleaning or your water never quite clears, a full grid assembly replacement is often the right move.
Expert Comparison & Pro Tips
Compared to replacing individual grids, the Pentair 59023300 assembly offers better long-term reliability and faster installation. Mixing old and new grids can lead to uneven DE loading, which reduces efficiency and shortens cleaning cycles. A complete assembly ensures proper alignment with the manifold and eliminates hidden weak spots that cause internal bypass.
Pro Tip: When installing a new grid assembly, inspect the air relief screen and manifold O-ring—replacing worn seals at the same time helps prevent internal leaks and pressure problems.
Our Expert Verdict: Real-World Results
In real pool service scenarios, the Pentair FNS Plus 60 Grid Assembly consistently restores strong filtration and stable pressure readings after installation. Pools clear faster, backwashing intervals extend, and overall system strain decreases. It’s a dependable solution that aligns with Pentair’s original engineering standards. For pool owners who want fewer filter issues and clearer water, this assembly delivers proven results. Backed by ShastaPoolSupply.com’s expert support, competitive pricing, and fast shipping, it’s a confident upgrade for your DE filtration system.
How often should I replace my Pentair Sta-Rite PLM300 filter cartridge?
A filter cartridge’s lifespan depends on pool usage, water conditions, and maintenance habits. Typically, you’ll clean the cartridge every 4 weeks in peak season and expect a full replacement every 1–2 years for most residential pools. If you notice frayed pleats, persistent stains, or reduced flow even after cleaning, it’s time for a new cartridge. Regular rinsing and proper chemical balance help extend the life of your cartridge and keep your pool performing at its best.

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
What are the benefits of a DE Filter?
There is a huge benefit to using a DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filter, DE filters have superior filtration, and can trap particles as small as 2-5 microns. This results in exceptionally clear and clean water. This high level of performance is ideal for removing fine debris like pollen and algae. Additionally, this can potentially lead to reduced chemical usage because more contaminants are removed from the water.
How does DE filtration compare to cartridge systems?
The Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filter system offers powerful filtration that captures particles as small as 2–5 microns. It works by coating the filter grids with a fine DE powder, allowing it to trap dirt and debris more effectively than traditional sand or cartridge filters.
Is this an OEM part?
Yes this part is original, from the manufacturer, and contains a manufacturer part number.
