STA-RITE PLD Series User manual

Family, friends and even Fido can put a strain on your
pool filtration system. Keeping your water in perfect
condition is a job best left to Sta-Rite,the leader in
filtration technology. To enjoy the cleanest, clearest water
in your backyard pool, install a PLD Mod D.E. aboveground
system, featuring diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filtration.
Diatomaceous earth, a natural substance, is so fine it traps
dirt and debris as small as five microns (1⁄10 the width of
ahuman hair). Body oils, suntan lotions,pollens, dust and
even some bacteria are trapped in the filter, leaving behind
sparkling clear, healthier water.
•Single module replaces complicated multi-grid
assemblies that are difficult to clean and reassemble.
•Unique balanced-flow tank design maximizes the use of
the module’s surface area to trap more dirt and reduce
the frequency of cleaning.
•Precision-engineered pump components significantly
reduce sound levels and won’t intrude on those
peaceful, quiet times.
The advantages are perfectly clear. Enjoy the distinct
benefits of the PLD Mod D.E. aboveground system.

fast out!
The joy of low maintenance
Large capacity trap collects more dirt and extends the time
between cleanings.
Adynamic duo
The PLD system incorporates a performance-matched pump and filter,
which increase energy efficiency and reduce sound emissions. And, with
your leisure time in mind, the components are designed to need only
occasional maintenance.
Less maintenance . . .YES!
The balanced-flow tank design directs water through
both sides of the filter module, which dramatically
increases filter surface area and dirt-loading capability.
And that means a longer time between cleanings.
Easy, two-way cleaning
For quick cleaning, simply move the valve lever to
the backwash position – that’s it! For more thorough
cleaning, remove the tool-free tank lid and spray-rinse
the module*while it’s still in place. In minutes, it’s
ready for another season.
*Modules used in conjunction with certain pool/spa
sanitizers may require soaking in special cleaning solutions.
