Why Choose the Pentair Triton II TR60?
The Triton II is built around a balanced internal flow system that distributes water evenly across the filtration media. This helps maximize the usable surface of the sand bed, support consistent water clarity, and extend the time between backwashing compared with poorly distributed filter designs.
Its fiberglass tank is resistant to corrosion and outdoor exposure, while the threaded bulkhead connections and accessible internal components make the TR60 practical to install, inspect, and service over the life of the pool.
