Pentair EC-140210 Triton II TR100 Side-Mount Sand Filter
The Pentair EC-140210 Triton II TR100 Sand Filter is a heavy-duty side-mount pool filter designed for larger residential inground pools that require dependable filtration and high water-flow capacity. Its one-piece fiberglass-reinforced tank, balanced internal flow design, and generous 600-pound sand capacity help deliver consistently clear water with straightforward routine maintenance.
With 4.91 square feet of effective filtration area and a residential flow rating of 74 gallons per minute, the TR100 can provide approximately 35,520 gallons of turnover in eight hours. It is a strong choice for larger pools, high-flow equipment systems, and replacements for an existing Triton II TR100 installation.
The EC-140210 is a side-mount filter sold without a multiport or push-pull valve. The correct valve, unions, filter sand, plumbing fittings, and installation materials must be purchased separately.

Why Choose the Pentair Triton II TR100?
The TR100 uses an internal flow system designed to distribute incoming pool water evenly throughout the sand bed. Instead of allowing water to concentrate in only one portion of the media, this balanced distribution helps use more of the available filtration area, supports consistent water clarity, and promotes longer operating periods between backwashing.
Its corrosion-resistant fiberglass tank is built for long-term outdoor service, while the large top opening and accessible internal components make sand loading, inspection, and future repairs more manageable. For pools requiring more capacity than a smaller TR60 filter can provide, the TR100 offers increased filtration area and a larger media bed.

Is the Pentair TR100 the Right Size for My Pool?
At its rated flow of 74 GPM, the TR100 can circulate approximately 35,520 gallons in eight hours. This does not automatically mean it is appropriate for every pool of that size. Proper sizing must also account for the pool volume, pump flow, plumbing diameter, total dynamic head, desired turnover period, attached water features, and local requirements.
The actual system flow should not exceed the maximum rating of the filter, valve, heater, salt system, or other equipment installed on the circulation system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much sand does a Pentair Triton II TR100 require?
The Pentair TR100 requires approximately 600 pounds of properly graded swimming pool filter sand. Follow Pentair’s current installation instructions when selecting and loading the filtration media.
Does the Pentair EC-140210 include a multiport valve?
No. The EC-140210 is a side-mount filter supplied without a control valve. A compatible Pentair side-mount multiport or push-pull valve must be selected separately according to the plumbing size and installation.
What is the flow rate of the Triton II TR100?
The residential flow rating is 74 gallons per minute. Actual system flow will depend on the pump, plumbing, valves, elevation changes, and resistance created by the rest of the pool equipment.
Can the TR100 replace an existing Pentair Triton II TR100?
It may be used as a replacement for an existing TR100 installation, but the filter model, valve type, plumbing size, connection spacing, equipment-pad clearance, and existing unions should all be confirmed before ordering. Older installations may require new valves, fittings, or plumbing modifications.
Can this filter be used with a saltwater pool?
Yes. The fiberglass tank can be used as part of a properly installed and maintained saltwater pool system. Pool chemistry must remain within the recommended ranges for the filter and all connected equipment.
Send Aqua Terra Backyard your pool volume, pump model, plumbing size, current filter model, and a clear photo of the equipment pad. We can help confirm whether the Pentair Triton II TR100 and the selected side-mount valve are appropriate for your system.
