DE Filter System with 1.5Hp Variable Speed Pump","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeep your pool water clean and clear with the Black Diamond 48 Sq. Ft. Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) pool filter system, now paired with the high-efficiency Blue Torrent 1.5 HP Variable Speed (BT-IGV150SP) pool pump. Engineered for residential swimming pools up to 46,000 gallons, this high-performance combo provides professional-grade water clarity while dropping your seasonal power consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior D.E. Filtration Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiatomaceous earth is a highly efficient filtration material, filtering water down to 2 to 5 microns. This system easily traps ultra-fine dust, pollen, and algae that pass straight through traditional sand or cartridge filters, delivering a clear pool with fewer chemical corrections. With a high-flow rating of 96 GPM, the tank provides a reliable 8-hour turnover capacity of 46,080 gallons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Energy Savings with Variable Speed Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Blue Torrent 1.5 HP variable speed pump (BT-IGV150SP) is engineered to run at lower, energy-saving speeds for daily filtration tasks. Running a pool pump on low speeds relies on the laws of pump affinity—cutting your motor speed in half drops the electrical power draw by up to 80% to 90% compared to standard single-speed pumps. Because the Black Diamond D.E. filter features a low-resistance internal 2-inch piping system, this combo maximizes your cost savings, keeping your water crystal clear while slashing your monthly utility bills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Construction \u0026amp; Included Backwash Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from durable, glass-reinforced thermoplastic, the corrosion-proof filter tank halves are secured by a heavy-duty clamp. This allows fast internal access to the grid assembly without disconnecting any hard plumbing. The system comes complete with a high-flow multiport backwash valve, allowing you to easily flush out trapped dirt and reverse-clean the system with a quick turn of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Product Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePool Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optimized for residential swimming pools up to 46,080 gallons (8-hour turnover) or 57,600 gallons (10-hour turnover).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy-Saving Variable Speed Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-efficiency 1.5 HP motor allows custom speed schedules to slash monthly electricity costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicroscopic 2–5 Micron Filtration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers top-tier water clarity by removing fine dust, silt, and organic debris.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Multiport Backwash Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simplifies maintenance cycles with easy-to-use settings for rinsing and backwashing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Glass-Reinforced Tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-impact thermoplastic structure engineered to withstand heavy outdoor weather and constant pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications Spec Sheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFilter Manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAsia Connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePump Manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBlue Torrent Pool Products\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFilter Model Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBlack Diamond 48 D.E.\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePump Model Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBT-IGV150SP (Variable Speed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eEffective Filtration Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e48 Sq.
