Hayward DEP100 DEP 500 Series DE Filter

Hayward DEP 500 Series Pleated Element DE Filter | 100 Sq Ft | DEP100

The Hayward DEP100 100 Sq Ft Pleated Element DE Filter delivers the clarity of traditional diatomaceous earth (DE) filtration with the convenience and serviceability of a cartridge system. As part of the advanced DEP 500 Series, it combines high-end filtration efficiency with low-maintenance operation, making it ideal for both new pool installations and system upgrades. Its pleated DE elements trap microscopic impurities down to 2–5 microns, while the hybrid design allows the elements to be easily backwashed or removed for cleaning—eliminating the mess and complexity of older grid-style DE filters. Built for energy-efficient operation and extended cleaning intervals, the DEP100 provides exceptional water quality with less work for the user.

Constructed from durable, glass-reinforced co-polymer, the DEP100 tank is engineered to resist corrosion, heat, and chemical wear in all climates. A heavy-duty, tamper-proof clamp provides quick internal access, while the self-aligning tank halves simplify reassembly after service. The integrated air relief valve allows easy venting, and the 2-inch full-flow hydraulic system reduces head loss for improved pump efficiency. Designed for strength, performance, and practicality, the Hayward DEP100 offers a true hybrid solution—combining the power of DE with the simplicity of cartridge maintenance for pools and spas of any size.
