Good product... the pentair sand filter keeps my pool water clean and clear. The valve is easy to manoeuvre. I've been using a sand filter for over a decade now and I find it works great. Makes backwashing easy.


imageWhat pool size is the Pentair Sand Dollar 22" sand filter suitable for? 1 Answer

  • The Pentair Sand Dollar 22" sand filter is sized for small to medium residential pools, typically handling water volumes up to around 36,000 gallons (approximately 136,000 liters) over a 10-hour turnover period. Its 2.3 sq ft filtration area and up to 60 GPM flow help deliver effective circulation for many backyard pools.

imageHow much sand does this filter require and how does filtration performance compare to other sand filters? 1 Answer

  • This filter requires about 250 lbs (≈113 kg) off filter sand. Like most traditional sand filters—including similar Hayward models—it filters particles in the 20–40 micron range,

imageWhat features set the Sand Dollar filter apart from other sand filters like Hayward Pro Series? 1 Answer

  • The Sand Dollar 22" includes a 6-function, top-mount multiport valve with a pressure gauge and manual air relief for easy operation, just like many Hayward units. What makes the Sand Dollar distinctive is its thermoplastic, one-piece tank designed for corrosion resistance and long life, plus an internal design that maximizes sand surface exposure for more efficient flow and backwashing, similar in performance to comparable Hayward models but with Pentair’s own internal flow pattern and materials.

imageHow does this filter compare to other sand filter brands in terms of durability and longevity? 1 Answer

  • Pentair’s one-piece thermoplastic tank and robust multiport valve are designed for long-term corrosion resistance and reliability, which is competitive with leading sand filters like Hayward’s Pro Series 22" units. Some owners choose Pentair because they find the internal components and valve action to be smooth and durable over time, though real-world performance can vary based on pump selection, pool conditions, and maintenance habits.
