I have a 27 year old 20x40x4 pool with a 1.5 hp Hayward Super Pump and an Lomart DE Filter that developed a slow leak I can't stop. Replacement parts no longer available. There are 30 ft of 1.5 inch tubing from the skimmer to the pump and 20 ft of 1.5 in return line. Pump is at pool water level.
The old Lomart has 9 D.E. disk filters with a total surface area of 25 Sq. Ft. I am looking for an over sized D.E. filter replacement. Is the Pentair 180008 one of the better replacements? Can you sugge

Yes this Pentair filter would be a great replacement and considerable upgrade from you Lomart filter. If you go with this Pentair filter then you would also need to purchase the Pentair 1.5" mulitport valve. Thanks for the great question.

I have a 30 year old sylvan pool with 48 KDI de stainless filter and 6 way multiport americana valve. Please advise on filter and valve selection.

Hi Bob, You can go with the Pentair FNS Plus 48 Sq Ft Filter w/o Valve and you can use the 1.5" Threaded Multiport Valve for D.E Filters or the 2" Multiport Valve Threaded for D.E depending on your size plumbing.

I have a Pentair Filter Part # 180008
on the bottom of the tank is a plug that started to leak water i went to check it
and it fell off what can I doe to fix this

PG - I think you are referring to the drain plug at the botton of the tank. This plug should screw back in. If the plug's threads are stripped, here is a link the filter's parts list :Drain Plug (#24) and associated O-ring (#23). If the threads in the tank are stripped, you will have to buy a new tank bottom (#25) or a new filter.

Pros: it works MUCH better than my sand filter did!
Filter instructions were vague on the startup proceedure I thought. Nowhere in them did it say that every time the pool is backwashed more DE must be installed. I didn't wnow and asked a friend whythe backwash water was white.

(5 out of 5 stars) great flow rate
Reviewed By: pony from chardon, ohio ()
the item arrived in a very timely manner. the flow rate was much faster than my sand filter. the product was easy to install. one problem was the gauge on top came cracked although it was still usable. i believe the system crushed it in the box.
