Pentair Commercial Aquatics has a state-of-the-art horizontal sand filter unlike any other on the market. The THS Series filter is an NSF-approved 50 psi rated tank with flow rates up to 535 gpm in a single tank. The filter shell is manufactured from a longlasting composite laminate that makes winding unnecessary. A special coating gives the THS Series filter a smooth and attractive finish. An interior coating protects wet surfaces.
