48 sq. ft. or 60 sq. ft. Filter?

[sagosto]

My DE filter has 2 different model #s and I cannot determine if my DE filter is 48 sq. ft. or 60 sq. ft.. I've attached a picture of the sticker for reference.

Its a 60 sq ft filter. the "60" on the model number is the size.

Yes but why would there be a DE2420LA model # as well?

I didnt notice the small writing on the side.
here is a link to the owner manual. See Page 4 for dimensions.
If the tank is 46 tall, its a 60

DE2420LA is most probably the id number of the label. The label is the same on all sizes of that filter line.
