Its one-piece thermoplastic tank is engineered to resist corrosion, UV abrasion, and chemical damage, providing a durable foundation for your pool’s filtration system. With a 2.3 sq ft effective filter area and approximately 60 GPM flow capacity, this model handles moderate-sized pools while maintaining efficient turnover. The top-mounted multi-port valve puts full control within reach, and the internal design ensures even sand bed distribution to reduce channeling and extend service intervals. A combination drain port simplifies maintenance and winterizing tasks. If you’re looking for a reliable, compact sand filter without sacrificing quality, the SD60 is a strong choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify your equipment pad has sufficient clearance for the ~22½″ diameter tank and allow room above the valve for operation and servicing. Use exactly ~250 lbs of #20 silica sand (or equivalent media) and select a pump that maintains system flow below the filter’s 60 GPM rating to maximize lifespan and performance. When replacing a larger filter, check that all plumbing leads into the valve port size and ensure proper base leveling and bonding per local code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-level safety\/compatibility notes only: Shut off pump power and relieve system pressure before servicing or installing. Ensure the base is level and rated for the tank plus media load. Load the correct media (≈ 250 lbs of #20 silica sand) and verify plumbing size and valve clearance. Bond and ground the filter system per local code. Do not exceed the specified maximum flow (~60 GPM). Follow the manufacturer’s backwash and winterizing instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavanaugh Pool, Spa \u0026 Patio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62589890658675,"sku":"PAC-05-0081","price":668.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/2464\/4211\/files\/SandDollar_27de2f90-a84e-4979-a015-226a37696396.png?v=1772563809","url":"https:\/\/shop.cavanaughpool.com\/products\/pentair-sand-dollar-top-mount-filter-sd60-ec-145322","provider":"Cavanaugh Pool, Spa \u0026 Patio, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
