The Gold Standard in Sand Filtration: Built to Last Decades

The Pentair Triton II Side Mount Filter TR60 (EC-140264) isn't just a filter—it's the industry-leading benchmark that all other sand filters are measured against. As the original fiberglass sand filter, the Triton II has proven itself in backyards across the country with unmatched durability and crystal-clear filtration performance.

Why the Triton II Remains the Professional's Choice

Virtually Indestructible Construction
Engineered with a unique one-piece, fiberglass-reinforced tank featuring a UV-resistant surface finish. Unlike cheaper alternatives, the Triton II's advanced construction prevents "blooming" (fiber deterioration) even under intense sun exposure and harsh chemicals. This filter is built to deliver decades of reliable service.

Maintenance Made Simple
The heavy-duty top closure provides easy inspection access to sand and internal components—no wrestling with complicated mechanisms. The combination sand and water drain system makes servicing quick and winterization effortless, saving you time and hassle season after season.

Smart Engineering Features
Internal air bleed automatically eliminates air pockets for optimal filtration efficiency, while the easy-to-read pressure gauge and air relief valve give you complete operational visibility. No guesswork—just reliable performance you can monitor at a glance.

Professional-Grade Specifications
Operates at maximum continual pressure of 50 PSI and handles water temperatures up to 104°F, making it suitable for pools, spas, and heated applications. Requires 250 lbs of sand and 75 lbs of pea gravel for optimal performance.
