Hayward® DEP 500 Series — High-Capacity D.E. Filtration DEP 500 Series D.E. Filter — 60 Sq. Ft. / Model DEP560

When a standard D.E. filter isn't enough, the DEP 500 steps up. Sixty square feet of curved-grid filtration area — designed for large residential pools and high-demand systems — delivers the 2–5 micron particle capture of Diatomaceous Earth at flow rates up to 120 GPM. More surface area means longer cycles, lower operating pressure, and water that stays glass-clear even through the heaviest use weeks of the season.

Key Features

〰️

Curved Grid Technology

Advanced curved grid design maximizes the D.E. coating surface area within the tank footprint — delivering longer cycles between cleanings and more consistent water polishing than flat-grid designs.

🔓

Easy-Access Flange Clamp

Heavy-duty one-piece flange clamp opens the tank for full internal access without disturbing any plumbing connections — making annual teardowns and recharges significantly faster and less frustrating.

📐

Low-Profile Design

Engineered to fit into tight equipment pads while still delivering 60 sq. ft. of filtration area — you don't need a sprawling pad to get high-capacity D.E. performance.

🏗️

Glass-Reinforced Thermoplastic Tank

Rugged corrosion-proof construction handles PA's freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and aggressive pool chemistry — built for decades of outdoor use without degrading.

DEP 500 vs. Perflex® — Which D.E. Filter Is Right for You?

🏆

DEP 500 (DEP560) — Best For Large Pools

60 sq. ft. of filtration area. 120 GPM flow rate. 57,600-gallon 8-hour turnover. Curved grid design for maximum surface area and longer cycles. Ideal for larger inground pools, high-bather-load environments, and pools with multiple water features. Full teardown access via one-piece flange clamp.

👊

Perflex® Extended-Cycle — Best For Standard Pools

20–40 sq. ft. models available. Patented "bump" handle refreshes the filter bed in seconds without backwashing or disassembly. Ideal for standard to large inground pools that want D.E. clarity with the most convenient ongoing maintenance. No multiport valve required.

💡 Pro Tip — Add D.E. Through the Skimmer After Every Backwash. Each time you backwash or perform a full teardown and recharge, add fresh D.E. powder through the skimmer with the pump running — never pour dry powder directly into the filter tank. For the DEP560, that's 7.5 lbs per full recharge. Use a funnel and add it slowly to avoid blowing powder back through the returns. Questions about your first recharge? Call us at (570) 592-5988.

⚠️ D.E. Powder Handling. Diatomaceous Earth is a fine silica powder — always wear a dust mask when handling dry D.E. and add it through the skimmer with the pump running. Store unused D.E. in a sealed container in a dry location between uses.

🏆 1-Year Limited Warranty — The Hayward DEP 500 Series is backed by a 1-Year Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects when purchased through an authorized dealer. Blue Bottom Pools is an authorized Hayward® dealer serving Northeast Pennsylvania.
