Product Overview
The Pentair Triton® II TR100 Side-Mount Sand Filter (EC-140210) provides durable, high-capacity filtration for large residential swimming pools and demanding water-circulation systems. With 4.91 square feet of filtration area and a maximum flow rate of approximately 98 GPM, the TR100 is designed to deliver consistent water clarity with straightforward maintenance.
Its one-piece, fiberglass-reinforced tank features a UV-resistant surface finish for dependable outdoor performance. The filter’s internal water-distribution system promotes even flow across the sand bed, helping maximize filtration efficiency and prevent channeling.
The TR100 uses standard No. 20-grade silica filter sand and requires only periodic backwashing rather than cartridge removal or replacement. This model features a side-mount configuration and is supplied without a multiport valve unless otherwise specified.

Valve Compatibility

Confirm the following before choosing a valve:
- Filter model is TR100
- Plumbing size is 2 inches
- Desired valve type is multiport or push-pull
- Existing plumbing orientation matches the selected valve
- The valve is approved for the TR100 side-mount filter
Installation Requirements
Install the filter on a stable, level equipment pad with adequate clearance for plumbing, operation and future service. The system must include a properly sized pump, approved backwash valve and suitable waste-line plumbing.
Use only the amount and type of filter media specified for the TR100. Adding too much or too little sand may reduce filtration performance or damage internal components.
Installation and servicing should be completed by a qualified pool professional. Always depressurize the circulation system before opening or servicing the filter.
