Benefits
The Pentair 59023400 complete grid assembly helps restore filtration performance by replacing the internal D.E. grid cluster inside a compatible FNS Plus 48 filter. Over time, D.E. grids can tear, crack, warp, collapse, or become clogged with scale and oils that no longer clean out properly.
Replacing the complete assembly can improve water clarity, filter efficiency, and system performance. Because this assembly is pre-assembled, it helps save time compared to rebuilding the filter with individual grids, manifolds, and tie rods separately.
