Seems are high-quality. I’ve had them in the system three months now, backwash frequently and they have held up. This was a good purchase. Review: Made in USA Quality - Fit like a glove into our 60 SQF Pentair DE filter. From the moment I took out the old filter, hosed and cleaned all the accessories, install the elements, to turning on the filter motor took less than 50 minutes. If there is one negative, it is that it is pricey compared to the other replacement elements. Now, we'll have to see if it will last for four years; that's how long the original lasted. My 5-star rating is based on my eyeball assessment of the quality of the material used, the ease with which I was able to install it, and the immediate performance. From the looks of it, it does look like it will last. We'll have to see, won't we? ## Features - Replacement Grid Filters: Replacement FS-2005 DE grid filter set features 60 square feet of media with a high yarn count of fine denier fibers, which yield an optimal permeability to keep your water sparkling - Optimal Performance: Grid cloth design allows for better DE caking properties and less resistance to water flow for optimal performance; Longer cycles between backwashes for convenience - Efficient Filtration: Filter grid and diatomaceous earth powder paired together efficiently filter out debris and impurities down to an average of 2 to 5 microns - Pool Fitment: Compatible with systems manufactured by Hayward Pool Products, Pentair Pool Products, American Products, Pac Fab, Sta-Rite, Astral, Waterway Plastics, Jacuzzi, and Jandy; Suitable for in-ground pools and above-ground pools - Grid Set: Includes set of 7 full and 1 partial grid necessary for full grid replacement; Dimensions (L x W): 30 x 11 inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #77,799 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #20 in Pool DE Filters | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 845 Reviews | ## Images ![Unicel FS-2005 60 Sq Ft Vertical DE Grid Replacement Swimming Pool Filter Set, Compatible with American, Hayward, Pac-Fab, Sta-Rite, Astral and More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wJHoGp59L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this filter fit the Pentair FNS Plus 60?** A: It should, BUT I am not sure that the 60 is equal to the FNS Plus 60. **Q: Will this grid set fit my Pentair FNS60 filter?** A: It fit my Pac Fab FNS filter .

Originally I was planning to only replace the one broken grid and keep the rest. However, the contrast to the old grids was light and day and it made no sense to just replace one or few old ones so I ended up using all 8 of the new grids. The installation was relatively straightforward on my Hayward Pro-Grid DE6020, since I had experience of taking apart and re-assembling the old grids previously. However, if this is your first time assembling the grids it could be tough. The trick is to assemble everything upside down, i.e. put the manifold upside down on the ground and build the "puzzle" from there. When everything is in place then you flip it back. In terms of performance, again, light and day comparison to the old grids. No more DE leakage and the chronic fast buildup of tiny debris in the pool is now a past. Now I spend less than 10 minutes everyday vacuuming my 20x40 pool, compared to having to do it every a few hours when I had the old grids. Also I can reduce the circulation time to around 5 hours without worrying about growth, since the filtration is so efficient and this reduced the energy use significantly. Although I have only installed the grids for less than 2 months, with the build quality of these grids I'm confident they will last a long time. So I am extremely happy with this product and would rank it one of my top purchases not only for the pool, but for anything related to the house. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/15706850-unicel-fs-2005-60-sq-ft-vertical-de-grid-replacement](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/15706850-unicel-fs-2005-60-sq-ft-vertical-de-grid-replacement) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
