Pentair 196024S Diverter Assembly Retro Kit | Quad DE Filters

The Pentair 196024S Diverter Assembly Retro Kit is a genuine OEM upgrade for Quad DE filters, designed to optimize filtration by improving the distribution of diatomaceous earth on the cartridges. The diverter redirects incoming water to the bottom of the filter housing, preventing D.E. buildup at the base and ensuring uniform coverage. This retrofit replaces the inlet baffle assembly and positions the diverter downward, giving the filter more balanced operation. With enhanced water flow management, the kit helps maintain consistent filter pressure, extend cycle times, and deliver cleaner, clearer pool water. Constructed from durable materials, the 196024S provides reliable performance under demanding conditions.
