So 24sqft per filter x8 filters

Looking at the filters and the oem filter part number DEX2400DA from Hayward appears o have a de2420 filter and going off your post 22 and 23 I need 3lbs of DE

See below and confirm thanks much

Ok they are 13 inch width x18 inch length

Just looked on the manufacturer website

• Brand New *Unicel FG 1002* Swimming Pool Vertical D.R. Filter Grid
• 12" long
• 11" wide
• 24 sq. ft
• Collar has open slot (2 notches)

If they are 18” long it’s 4 lbs DE that makes it a 36 sq ft filter

Make sure they are 12” and not 18” -that isn’t a very common size but if that’s what you measured then it is a 24 sq ft so add 3 lbs that will work

Great thanks this is off Hayward also “The Hayward DEX2400DA Filter Grid is the perfect choice for your Pro-Grid Vertical Grid DE Series DE2420 Filter. This 12 inches long filter grid provides maximum, efficient filtering of even the smallest particles in your pool. Seven filter grids are required for the Pro-Grid filters.” So just summary I took the filter part number then look at it online and it told me it was the Hayward dex2400da which makes my filter the de2450 filter just based on post 22 and 23

The 24 does only take seven grids sounds like you got it.Disassembling that filter isn’t as tricky as the bigger ones.
